About this Item
24 pp, stapled in corner. Clements A15. Mimeograph typescript of the play by McClure; this copy used as a shooting script. Pages i-iii; 2-24 (lacking final two pages, per Clements). Dated "August 27, 1964" in pen, with "shooting script" in pencil in another hand on cover page. Marked up throughout with thumbnail sketches, revisions, deletions, corrections, and notes with regard to lighting and staging. Smudges and stains; staple rusted and loose. From the Clements bibliography: "Note: This is a working script for the actors and for distribution to interested persons. Also, a 16 mm film of scenes from this production as made by George Herms, approximately three minutes long. It is in the author's possession." It is tantalizing to speculate that this shooting script was in fact used by Herms, as there is no record of another contemporaneous film version, but without direct evidence it remains speculation. Signed by the author at a later date. Unique. Seller Inventory # 3156
