IT’S A GRAPHIC NOVEL AND IT’S IN PRINT NOW

Did you see this one? Back between 1999 and 2002 we took it to a few cities… We did it in Austin a few times… Did you miss it? Do you miss it? We kinda do. So when 53rd State Press offered us the chance to publish some of our plays, we picked Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the Twentieth Century to go first.

With everyone’s permission/blessing (Greil, Rudes, Harvard Press, her mom), Lana Lesley spent the next few years busting out a scene-for-scene graphic adaptation of the production as seen in January 2002 at The Southern Theatre in Minneapolis, MN when The Walker Art Center presented it.

STAY TUNED – When the books come in, we will gather them all up and run to our favorite place, sign them, give them to folks who bought them online, sell them to folks that didn’t, and do some boozy and/or non-boozy hanging out with or without official talking. We will email the date/time/place when we know it!
This graphic adaptation by Lana Lesley of the play by Rude Mechs adapated from the celebrated and intellectually nervy book by Greil Marcus, is a gritty rendition of a theatrically irreverant and physically ecstatic vision of “movements in culture that raised no monuments… movements that barely left a trace.”
