IONESCO EUGENE: (1909-1994) Romanian-French Playwright & Dramatist. A printed 4to handbill announcing a performance of Virginia Woolf's play Freshwater at the University Theatre in New York, 20th - 21st October 1983, signed by ten individuals associated with the production, some of them cast members, including Eugene Ionesco, his wife Rodica Ionesco, Simone Benmussa (director), Nathalie Sarraute, Joyce Mansour, Jean-Paul Aron, Florence Delay, Nigel Nicolson and two others. An interesting and unusual grouping of signatures. A few very light, extremely minor creases, VG

The printed text at the base of the handbill explains 'This will be the first time Freshwater has been performed in the United States. It was given once in 1935 by friends of Virginia Woolf at the home of her sister Vanessa Bell…..the play was published in English in 1976. Elisabeth Janvier's adaptation appeared in 1981. This version was given a single performance on December 13, 1982, at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Many of those who will be performing the play in New York were in the Paris cast. Thanks to the collaboration of the British Council, Nigel Nicolson, a famous member of the Bloomsbury Group, will be present at the October 20 performance to present Freshwater.'
