Book Description
[New York: John C. Wilson, Producer, ca. 1946].. [2],54,43,45,12,[1],2,2,[2] leaves. Quarto. Carbon typescript (with a few leaves of original typescript), on onionskin paper, text on rectos only. Bradbound in service bureau mimeographed wrappers, with producer's label. Scattered pencil corrections and revisions in an unknown hand, some creasing and modest use, one inserted leaf of original typescript secured by paperclip; generally very good. An unspecified draft of this script for the U.S. premiere production of Rattigan's play, O MISTRESS MINE, produced by John C. Wilson and the Theatre Guild at the Empire Theatre, under the direction of Alfred Lunt. This draft is denoted "old version" in pencil on the upper wrapper, and internal evidence substantiates the revision process. The New York production enjoyed 482 performances, opening 23 January 1946. This play was an adaptation of Rattigan's earlier play, LOVE IN IDLENESS (1944), and the final version was not published in book form until the Samuel French edition of 1949.
