Vintage window card poster for the premiere of the 1987 play, which ran from May 8-12, 1987, at the Lawrence Community Theatre in Lawrence, Kansas-where Burroughs resided the last 16 years of his life. SIGNED and dated "William S Burroughs / 12/18/87." With the encouragement of Burroughs and Burroughs' personal assistant James Grauerholz, playwright Paul Stephen Lim adapted the play from both Burroughs' early novel "Queer" (published in 1985 but written between 1951 and 1953), and the author's unpublished correspondence from the 1950s. An experimental portrait of the author and his wife (here as Lee and Jane) living on the fringe as expatriates in Mexico City, as Lee fruitlessly pursues a young American boy, with the play's two female characters portrayed by life-sized ragdolls. The title of the play was inspired by Marlene Dietrich's performance of the song "The Boys in the Back Room" in the 1939 film "Destry Rides Again." OCLC locates two holdings, both at the University of Kansas. Scarce. 10.5 x 16.5 inches on satin-finish card stock. Light edgewear with faint rubbing and creasing at the corners, else Near Fine.
