This memoir by Raina Barrett offers a captivating insider’s account of the groundbreaking erotic musical revue “Oh! Calcutta!”. First performed in 1969, the show challenged societal norms with its unapologetic depiction of nudity and sexuality, sparking both outrage and acclaim. Barrett, a former model and actress, was one of the original cast members, and her candid narrative provides a rare glimpse into the avant-garde theater scene of the 1960s. Beyond the scandalous subject matter, her story also touches on the broader cultural upheaval of the era, reflecting the shifting attitudes towards gender, sexuality, and artistic expression. With its unique perspective and historical significance, this volume is a must-have for collectors interested in counterculture movements and the evolution of theatrical performance art.
