[Playscript]: A New Comedy [*Keep It in the Family*] Adapted from the Play by Bill Naughton

Quarto. 137 mimeographed leaves printed on the rectos only in screwbound mustard Studio Duplicating Service wrappers titled in gilt. Small, neat handwritten control number ("#30") on the titlepage. The title partially marked over on the front wrap, plasticized wrappers are rubbed and a bit nicked, very good. Comedy in two acts, based on Naughton's successful West End play *Spring and Port Wine*. Although a success in London, this attempt to "Americanize" the play by the successful playwright, screenwriter, and novelist N. Richard Nash seemed doomed to failure, and closed after five performances. William Goldman in his book *The Season: A Candid Look at Broadway* wrote about the failed show, in the meantime which had been retitled: *Keep It in the Family*. Rare. *OCLC* locates no copies of the script.
