About This Item
New York: Stuart Company, 1966. Draft script for the 1966 Broadway musical.
A series of three playlets tied together by themes, such as dissatisfaction with getting what one wants, and repeated references or design elements, such as the color brown.

Stockton, and the final act based on "Passionella" by Jules Feiffer.
