Two of the three playets are in the journal "Theater" v. 10, no. 2, 1979.

The English full-text of "And What Would Happen If?" is at: http://theater.dukejournals.org/content/10/2/68.full.pdf+html

"A Little Play About Priests Who Cannot Understand that This is a Holiday"  http://theater.dukejournals.org/content/10/2/72.full.pdf+html

I couldn't find the 3rd playet.
Best,
June Farris

Subject: [SEELANGS] Mayakovsky's agit prop playlets

Friends,

A theater student emailed me with the following query: 

Do you know if there is an English translation of the agit-prop plays that Vladamir Mayakovsky wrote for the Theater of Satire in 1920?  I’m looking for the scripts to any (or all) of the three:

"And What If?. . .May First Daydreams in a Bourgeois Armchair"
"A Small Play about Priests Who Do Not Understand What is Meant by the Holiday"
"How Some People Spend Time Celebrating Holidays"

Any leads would be most appreciated!
Feel free to reply to me directly at irerman at davidson.edu
