Gore Vidal's 1957 television play is about an alien named Kreton who comes to earth to learn about war--specifically, the Civil War, but something went wrong with the time mechanism that was supposed to transport him to 1861. Instead, it's the mid-20th century. Not finding a war in progress, Kreton tries to drum one up between the US and Russia. The situation provides Vidal with an opportunity to satirize American anti-communist paranoia, Senator Joseph McCarthy, the excesses of the Cold War, and much of the popular culture of the 1950s. VISIT TO A SMALL PLANET was a huge Broadway hit shortly after its TV debut. This edition also includes seven more plays by Vidal.

I HAVE PERFORMED IN AND DIRECTED THIS GREAT GORE VIDAL SCRIPT. SAW IT IN LATE 50'SWHEN IT WAS ON NATIONAL TOUR. THE SCRIPT WAS TOTALLY RUINED BY JERRY LEWIS , NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT THE FILM RATING WAS LOW, LOW AND A FINANCIAL BUST! IF YOU GET THE CHANCE READ THIS GREAT SHOW.!!!
