About This Item

N.p.: N.p., 1974. Draft script for the 1974 production of two 1966 plays. With a handwritten label on the front wrapper noting the production title "Coward in Two Keys," written in manuscript ink on a piece of masking tape that has been placed over the original title, "A Song at Twilight."

Laid in with the script are five photographs of actors Anne Baxter, Thom Christopher, Hume Cronyn, and Jessica Tandy, as well as a small handwritten note regarding the play's billing.

Two plays from legendary playwright Noel Coward's 1966 "Suite in Three Keys" trilogy, which were staged at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on February 28 1974. In "Come Into the Garden Maud," an American millionaire seeks freedom from his controlling wife, while in "A Song at Twilight," an aging writer is forced out of the closet by his former mistress.

The trilogy (which included the play "Shadows of the Evening") was originally staged at the Queen's Theatre in London in 1966, and was the penultimate production Coward would write for the stage.

Set in Switzerland.

Blue titled Studio Duplicating Service wrappers. Lacking title page, presumably as issued. 118 leaves, with last page of text numbered 2-39. Mimeograph duplication, rectos only. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound with two gold brads.
