Wonderful collection of 16 scripts from some of their best shows. Some of the best humor going. Brilliant. Ranks with the Goons and Beyond the Fringe. Surrealist and funny at the same time these are classic theater that has had a profound influence. A must read in anyones collection. Each time will be nude, er...new, and growing in range and depth. One of my long time favorites is temporarily bbn Humboldt county, but they are all wonderful. Another striking feature is the timeliness of the political satire. At the time it was avanti garde. It remains so today. Worth the read just for that. Can't praise this volume highly enough. Not a simple read, but a great trip.
