Desire Caught by the Tail
''Desire Caught by the Tail'' is a farcical play written by the painter Pablo Picasso.
==History==
In the winter of 1941, soon after the Germans had occupied Paris, Picasso while ill spent three days writing a play. Written in French, the piece was entitled ''Le Désir attrapé par la queue,'' which translates literally to "Desire Caught by the Tail." However, it was not until 1944 that it had its first audience when it was given a reading in the Paris apartment of Michel Leiris. There the parts were read by such local literati as Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Valentine Hugo, Raymond Queneau and Picasso himself. Albert Camus directed the piece.〔Richard B. K. McLanathan, Gene Brown. The Arts. Ayer Publishing, 1978, p. 60〕
The Living Theatre made the play a part of their first critical success, when three poetic plays were staged at the same time. It was called ''An Evening of Bohemian Theatre'' at Cherry Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village, 2 March 1952, and also included plays by Gertrude Stein and T.S. Eliot.〔Terrell W. Marrs, ''The Living Theatre: History, Theatrics, and Politics'', pp 22 (Texas Tech University, 1984).〕 In June, 1959, Lorees Yerby Dutton directed a version of the play at the Coffee House Positano in Malibu, California.〔http://astro.temple.edu/~ruby/coffeehouse1/activities.html〕 It premiered as a full staged production in 1967, in St. Tropez, France. The show, which was rumored (falsely) to have actors urinating on stage, was protested despite the town’s generally tolerant reputation. The central prop was a large black box, which served as a bathtub, a coffin and a bed.〔Richard B. K. McLanathan, Gene Brown. The Arts. Ayer Publishing, 1978, p. 60〕 ''Desire Caught by the Tail'' was restaged in 1984 (with David Hockney acting) by the Guggenheim Museum. It has been rarely produced since.
