{"value"=>"<p>The Scripts series (1972-1992 bulk dates) consists primarily of photocopies of scripts for the plays, musicals and other works produced, co-produced, or sponsored by the New York Shakespeare Festival. The series also contains copies of published books and scripts, as well as historical research material. The scripts were maintained by the NYSF as \"clean copies\" for reference purposes and were prepared by the staff of the Scripts/Archives Office. There are often multiple versions of a script as it evolved from workshop to reading and finally to a full performance. It is common to see post-production versions of a script. There are only a few examples of original typescripts or scripts with light annotations or revisions. For original versions of scripts with revisions and inserts, see the Play Department series. For scripts used for staging, see the Production Materials series.</p>"}
