It's not a new play. I saw it in Cincinnati three years ago. A wonderful performance, in my estimation.
Congratulations to the winner.

While it wasn't in the months of Eisanim, Bul or Ziv, MNIAL's publication was on the 26th of the month preceding Aviv.

Since March 12, 1972 was a Sunday, I'm sticking with my previous guess 27th Adar, since the publishing company wasn't open on a Sunday.

After extensive Jewish date translating I have come up with: Adar 26th of 5732.

WSC is right, the publishing date given by Wikipedia lands it on a Sunday, and the publisher was Knopf, not a small outfit.
I'm thinking this is a trick question so Shmarya can call us a bunch of idiots.
I demand my lawyer. Where's dh?
