[Muzeeka clips]
Muzeeka is a play about American soldiers of the Vietnam War who have television contracts. It serves as a satire of both the war and mainstream American society. Written in 1968, it is one of the most notable of playwright John Guare’s early works. This video is the first segment of an early production of the play at the Kingston Mines Theater in Chicago. The footage is sparse and cuts in and out, sometimes with loud feedback noises.

Footage from a performance of an English-language version of the Bertolt Brecht play “The Mother.” This performance appears to be at a smaller theatre, with very minimal set and prop design—many of the setting details are conveyed by the chorus saying the scene’s expository text out loud in unison. This tape contains the first four of the play’s fourteen scenes.
