For those who don't know, Jean was the wife of comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell, famous for popularizing the concept of the Hero's Journey starting with his book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" in 1949 and getting a big boost from George Lucas (Lucas credited Campbell's work with helping to plot out Star Wars as a modern myth) and the "Power of Myth" TV series with Bill Moyers, filmed at Lucas's Skywalker Ranch shortly before Campbell's death. Joseph was a big fan and scholar of James Joyce and co-wrote one of the first (I'd assume the first) deep analysis of Finnegan's Wake with the 1944 book "A Skeleton Key to Finnegan's Wake." Joseph died in 1987 age 83 from cancer, but Jean lived to be 104! (d. 2020)
I must say, there is something very BEETLE JUICE, about the whole play🙂. Keep up the good work.
I have an ESP sampler disc circa 1967 with a segment of this play. Finally I get to see it!

Did anu of these wonderful actresses, and actors, perform, for President John F. Kennedy, and Jacky? I knew Jacky was big, into the arts.
