THE OPEN THEATRE in JEAN-CLAUDE VAN ITALLIE’s The Serpent. I saw it at Joe Papp’s Public Theatre in, I suppose, 1968 or 1969, but I don’t know when or where this shot was taken. Visit Jean-Claude Van itallie’s picture-rich website HERE!

A very poor color shot of the same scene. I think the women’s face barely visible below the bald man’s head is Shami Chaikin.
