{"value"=>"<p>This series contains correspondence, programs, scripts, notes, production and publicity materials, and clippings for most of the theater, film, and television productions in which Hagen appeared, spanning her 1937 professional debut in Eva Le Gallienne's production of <span class=\"title\">Hamlet</span> at the Cape Playhouse in Dennis, Massachusetts to her last stage role in <span class=\"title\">Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks</span>with David Hyde Pierce at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles in 2001. Proposed productions, such as <span class=\"title\">Mother Courage and Her Children</span> in the 1980s, are also documented.</p> <p>Other projects, such as award presentations and benefits, are also included. Of special note are papers relating to The Theatre Circle, a group (including Hagen, Berghof, Mildred Dunnock, Eric Bentley, E.G. Marshall, and others) seeking scripts for production (1952 - 1953).</p> <p>Papers for Hagen's numerous productions and projects with Herbert Berghof can be found in this series, except for <span class=\"title\">The Deep Blue Sea</span> (Hagen replaced Margaret Sullavan on tour), which is filed with Herbert Berghof's papers.</p> <p>Because Hagen worked mostly in the theater, theater productions are the most numerous and the best-documented in the papers. However, there are also some materials representing film and television appearances, such as <span class=\"title\">The Other</span> (Hagen's motion picture debut in 1972) and <span class=\"title\">The Boys from Brazil</span>(1978) for which Hagen received an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress; she also received Daytime Emmy Award nominations for appearances on <span class=\"title\">One Life to Live</span> (1986) and the <span class=\"title\">ABC Afterschool Special</span> episode <span class=\"title\">Seasonal Differences</span>(1988).</p> <p>There are a number of scripts, including sides, with Hagen's notes and revisions, providing a window into her work process. There are also notebooks for such landmark productions as <span class=\"title\">Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?</span> (for which Hagen won her second Tony) (1962), <span class=\"title\">Collected Stories</span> (1998), and <span class=\"title\">Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks</span> (2001).</p> <p>Hagen's most notable productions, <span class=\"title\">Othello</span> starring Paul Robeson on Broadway and on tour, <span class=\"title\">A Streetcar Named Desire</span>, <span class=\"title\">The Country Girl</span>, <span class=\"title\">Saint Joan</span>, <span class=\"title\">Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?</span>, <span class=\"title\">Mrs. Klein</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Collected Stories</span>, are included; later productions are more thoroughly documented.</p> <p>As performer, translator, and adaptor, Hagen worked on numerous projects with Berghof, on Broadway, on tour, and especially at HB Studio and later at HB Playwrights Foundation. A few of their projects are <span class=\"title\">The Affairs of Anatol</span> (1957), <span class=\"title\">Cyprienne</span>(1955), <span class=\"title\">The Lady's Not for Burning</span>(1953), <span class=\"title\">The Play's the Thing</span> (1952), <span class=\"title\">The Queen and the Rebels</span> (1959), <span class=\"title\">Prometheus Bound</span> (1973), and <span class=\"title\">The Silver Fox</span> (1982 and 1987).</p>"}
