Happy Birthday, Wanda June A Play

<b>“Richly and often pertinently funny [with] a sure instinct for the carefully considered irrelevance . . . a great deal of incidental hilarity [and] inspired idiocy.<b>”</b>—<i>The New York Times</i><br></b><br> <i>Happy Birthday Wanda June</i> was Kurt Vonnegut’s first play, which premiered in New York in 1970 and was then adapted into a film in 1971. It is a darkly humorous and searing examination of the excesses of capitalism, patriotism, toxic masculinity, and American culture in the post-Vietnam War era. Featuring behind-the-scenes photographs from the original stage production, this play captures Vonnegut’s brilliantly distinct perspective unlike we have ever seen it before. <br><br> <b>“A great artist.”—<i>The Cincinnati Enquirer </i></b>
