1954
by Williams, Tennessee
1954. Fine. Mimeographed sheets, printed both sides. 13pp. Sheets stapled at one corner. Fine. A couple minor corrections, possibly by Williams. The typescript for the 1955 publication of the opera by G. Ricodi and Co., which coincided with its first performance at Tulane University in New Orleans on January 17, 1955. The original one-act play was written before 1946, but never performed as a play (only an opera) during Williams's lifetime. It was not published until it appeared in 27 Wagons Full of Cotton and Other One-Act Plays in 1966. OCLC locates no copies of this typescript and it is not found in the Harry Ransom or Fred W. Todd collections. (Inventory #: 1077)
