Spook's Lament / Miracles of the Flesh

San Francisco: Climate Theatre, 1990. Vintage poster for the premiere of the 1990 play "Spook's Lament" by David Barth and the 1990 performance art piece "Miracles of the Flesh" by Hank Pellissier (as Hank Hyena), at San Francisco's Climate Theatre, March 22 through March 14/15, 1990.

"Spook's Lament" is playwright and director David Barth's sardonic depiction of an idealistic albino loan officer who becomes the duped savior of the Phoenix branch of Chump Savings and Loan and becomes sucked into the vacuous underworld of American banking.

Hank Hyena was the moniker of writer, editor, speaker, director, and teacher Hank Pellissier, used in the 1980s and 1990s as San Francisco performance artist, slam poet, and metro journalist. Commissioned by the Climate Theatre, "Miracles of the Flesh," which was also published as a collection of short stories, was a collection of irreverent comic skits detailing the adventures and disasters of the human body.

San Francisco's Climate Theatre was founded in 1985 by impresarios Marsha Crosby and Joegh Bullock, and has been a home for the Bay Area's avant-garde and experimental theater for over 30 years.

11 x 17 inches. Very Good plus, with light edgewear and several small pinholes.
