In addition to his experimental fiction and nonfiction novels, Mailer produced a play version of "The Deer Park" (staged at the Theatre De Lys in Greenwich Village in 1967), which had a four-month run and generally good reviews. In 2007, months before he died, he re-wrote the script, and asked his son Michael, a film producer, to film a staged production in Provincetown, but had to cancel because of his declining health. Mailer obsessed over "The Deer Park" more than any he did over any other work.
