Judith Malina, Founder of the Living Theatre, Dies at 88

Judith Malina, the co-founder, with her husband Julian Beck, of The Living Theatre, and a central figure in the New York avant garde theatre during its most vital time, in the 1960s and '70s, died on Friday in Englewood, N.J. She was 88. The Living Theatre was one of the first experimental theatre groups to crop up in New York in the years following World War II and was one of the most long-surviving. Most of the troupes and theatre spaces that challenged theatregoers alongside it - The Open Theatre, Theatre Genesis, Caffe Cino, Judson Poets Theatre - have long since ceased to exist.
