Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feeling so Sad
A Pseudo-Classical Tragifarce in a bastard French Tradition

FULLSCREEN VHS TRANSFERRED USING ADS TECH DVDXpressDX2 and ripped to avi with PocketDivx

Arthur Kopit wrote Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad

while he was studying European theater on a postgraduate travel scholarship earned at

Harvard. His aim was to enter the work in a school playwriting contest, never anticipating

that it would bring him worldwide acclaim at the age of twenty-three. As its subtitle

indicated, he wrote the play as a parody— "a pseudo-classical tragifarce in a bastard French

tradition"—in the new, avant garde French theater of Arthur Adamov, Eugene Ionesco, and

Samuel Beckett. It was this subgenre of the theater that, in 1961, Martin Esslin labeled the

Theatre of the Absurd.

Kopit’s Oh Dad has the distinction of being a relatively rare phenomenon: an extremely

successful first work staged in New York by a new and virtually unknown playwright. When Oh

Dad opened at New York’s Phoenix Theatre on February 26, 1962, beginning a run of 454

performances, it already had a production history, both in the United States and abroad. In

fact, the play was published in 1960, the same year in which it was first staged at Harvard

and then, professionally, at the Agassiz Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was during

it’s run at the Agassiz that it came to the attention of the staff of the Phoenix. Before

the Phoenix mounted its extremely successful production, however, the work had already been

staged in London, where it was directed by Frank Corsaro and starred Stella Adler as Madame

Rosepettle.

In the New York staging, directed by Jerome Robbins, an experienced cast headed by Jo Van

Fleet as Madame Rosepettle, Austin Pendleton as Jonathan, and Barbara Harris as Rosalie kept

audiences delighted, making it a major box-office success. It also garnered the Vernon Rice

and Outer Circle Awards, both significant honors.

The offbeat, dysfunctional characters—especially Madame Rosepettle and her son, Jonathan—

caused some critics to complain about a lack of serious purpose in the play as well as its

derivative elements, but the farcical and fanciful treatment of an overly-protective,

domineering mother and her neurotic son gave New York and European audiences little pause.

Most commentators could not argue with success and found the play a engaging spoof of

everything from Tennessee Williams's Rose Tattoo to Freudian psychology.

The play moved to Broadway:

The film has many flaws of sex comedies of late the 1960s 'camp' period but the most glaring

and bad element of this film is undoubtedly the unfunny and intrusive 'narration' by

Jonathan Winters. The would probably have been a film that did not stand the test of time

in any case but it is Winters' performance that truly drags this vehicle down.
