I've Got Sixpence; a play in two acts

New York: Dramatists Play Service. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1953). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [no significant wear to book, slight age-toning to page edges, one-time owner's address label on ffep; jacket lightly spotted/soiled and a bit yellowed, small chip at top of spine, another small chip at bottom of front panel]. (B&W photo frontispiece) Van Druten's play about some pretty big themes -- things like religious faith, and what makes life worth living -- had a very short run (23 performances, if you must know) on Broadway in December 1956. The jacket photo, also reproduced as the book's frontispiece, depicts co-stars Edmond O'Brien and Viveca Lindfors, he playing an unsympathetic role as a brutish novelist, she as the woman whom he impregnates during their brief affair, then abandons. .
