“Dick’s 100 Amusements is a collection of do-it-yourself theater and humor. Because of the basic simplicity of the pieces, they seem startlingly contemporary, ancestors of such modern avant-garde theater forms as the Happening or the Event Piece; and at least, when they are less directly related to our times, they reflect a period charm, as well as exemplifying an interesting social function later played by the theater and by the movies.”
Jokes and parlour games from a 1873 publication reissued almost a 100 years later by Something Else Press when the flourishing of performance art gave the collection a new and exciting context, with original illustrations and typesetting, contains some dated language.
