Description

IdentifierUMA-SRE-20020040Extent20 archive boxesScope and ContentUnit 1 contains administrative documents including cast lists for productions by the MTC and some fundraising and promotional material.
Units 2-20 contain scripts used in readings and/or considered for production by MTC, including some early versions and plays later known by other names, a small number of translations and adaptations. It appears that some scripts were provided to the MTC by theatrical agents whose details appear on the covers, while others were sent unsolicited by playwrights. A number of the scripts include a note by dramaturgs regarding suitability for production by the MTC, some include correspondence or other notes.ArrangementScripts are housed in alphabetical order by title. In most instances, any article at start of title has been ignored (so a title beginning ‘The Legend..’ is filed under ‘L’). If the work is best known by the whole title, the work is filed by the first letter of the title.Collection CategoryUniversity, officialAccess StatusOpen for public accessRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this Series
