[Playscript]: Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Beschreibung

Quarto. Mimeographed leaves printed on rectos only in screwbound pale purple Studio Duplicating Service wrappers titled in gilt. 35, 33, 26pp. Small, neat handwritten control number ("#13") on title page. Plasticized wrappers are well-rubbed along the spine, a little toning at the edges of the first and last couple of leaves, a very good copy and internally near fine. An absurdist tragicomedy in three acts, first performed by the Oxford Theatre Group at Cranston Street Hall in Edinburgh at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe on August 24, 1966. The first professional performance was given by the National Theatre Company at the Old Vic Theatre in London on April 11, 1967. This is the original playscript for the first American production, staged at the Alvin Theatre in New York City, where the play opened on October 16, 1967, before transferring to the Eugene O Neill Theatre on January 8, 1968, and ran for a total of 420 performances. Stoppard's first Broadway play, the production won a Tony and a New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. The original British scripts are legendarily rare; the U.S. script seems no less so. *OCLC* locates no copies of any of the early scripts.
