Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 20x13cm, 53 pp, Author's inscription on flyleaf: " Stay Out / 1970 / Rick Cluchey". Drama by a San Quentin prisoner, participant in San Quentin Drama workshop,published by a prison literature press. [ "..Beckett has become very involved with this San Quentin group since the early 1960s when he heard what was happening in the big American jail. One of the convicts, Rick Cluchey, who was serving what might have been a life sentence for a kidnap and robbery but turned out to be only 11 years, persuaded the authorities to let the prisoners do Beckett plays and they performed them in a studio theatre in what used to be the prison's gallows room. The plays made such an impact on the prisoners, who immediately saw similarities between the imprisonment felt by Beckett's characters and themselves that they were repeated over and over. The word got out and got as far as Beckett in Europe. Nowadays, Cluchey and Beckett are friends, something that the convict in San Quentin would have thought impossible. Cluchey and his wife,Teresita Garcia Suro, have called their two young children after Beckett and his wife, Suzanne.

He came to the attention of Samuel Beckett, who championed Cluchey and later featured him in some productions of his plays. Boldly inscribed and signed by Cluchey on the first leaf. Bit of offsetting to rear wrapper; fine.…
