About This Item
New York: New York Shakespeare Festival, 1971. Draft script for the 1971 Broadway play, seen here under the working title "Bones." Single annotation in manuscript ink on the title page, noting copy No. 92. Laid in with the script are a two-page program with two tickets stapled on the front wrapper, and a xerographically duplicated "New York Times" review of the off-Broadway staging of the play, dated November 9, 1971.
A pitch black comedy, about a heavily traumatized Vietnam veteran who arrives home after having lost his eyesight in the war, and finds himself completely alienated from his seemingly picture-perfect family. The second play in playwright David Rabe's Vietnam trilogy, following "The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel" (1971) and preceding "Streamers" (1976).
The play made its debut at Villanova University (where Rabe was then a graduate student) in 1969, and was later moved to Joseph Papp's Public Theater in 1971, running for 121 performances. It debuted on Broadway shortly after, at the John Golden Theatre on March 1, 1972, where it ran for 246 performances.
Nominated for three Tony Awards, winning one for for Best Play.
Black titled Studio Duplicating Service wrappers, with credits for playwright David Rabe. Title page present, dated 7/71, with credits for playwright David Rabe. 116 leaves, with last page of text numbered 2-53. Xerographic duplication, rectos only. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound with two gold brads.
