{"value"=>"<p><span class=\"title\">L’Ete (Summer)</span>by Romain Weingarten, translated by Shepperd Strudwick III, opened at the Cherry Lane Theatre April 9, 1973. The most thoroughly documented of Ms. Barker’s productions, the series includes eleven versions of the script and loose revisions, two prompt scripts, correspondence, including opening night wishes, casting materials and notes, contracts, reviews and comments of European productions, financial papers, including budgets, box office statements, bills and receipts, ledgers, interviews with Romain Weingarten, production staff resumes, a stage diagram, a painting (probably by Ms. Barker) of the set, program proofs, publicity materials, and materials on the Shaw Festival, Ontario 1971 production. The correspondence relates the difficulties encountered by Ms. Barker in obtaining the rights to the play and a script acceptable to the author, who lived in France. The papers for this play produced by Ms. Barker span 1966-1973, and reveal Ms. Barker’s determination to produce the play, which, although a success in Paris, ran for ten performances in New York. The correspondence also includes a note from Ms. Barker’s niece, “Sugie.” Contracts for three members of the <span class=\"title\">L’Ete</span> company have been separated because they contain personal information.</p>"}
