American playwright Jack Gelber (1932-2003) wrote his
renowned avant garde existential play, The Connection, in 1959. It
revolves around a group of drug-addicted jazz musicians in New York City. Produced by
the off-Broadway group, the Living Theatre, The Connection won an
Obie Award in 1960. It was later made into a film in 1961 (and was banned in New York
state as being obscene).
I'm not sure that The
Connection is available for online download, but you can definitely pick up a
copy of the play from any number of Internet sources. I have provided a link below where
several different copies are available for a nominal
price.
