{"value"=>"<p>This series contains scripts used for some twenty-three works performed by APA and APA-Phoenix. The scripts are primarily blocking, acting, and stage manager’s scripts and often include preset and cue lists, and lists of various technical elements. There are also several scripts, including <span class=\"title\">Exit the King</span>(1967), <span class=\"title\">Right You Are</span>(ca. 1966), <span class=\"title\">War and Peace</span>(ca. 1964), and <span class=\"title\">We, Comrades Three</span>(ca. 1966), annotated by noted voice and speech coach, Edith Skinner. A few scripts with actors’ names in them, such as Richard Easton’s script for <span class=\"title\">Exit the King</span> (a.k.a. <span class=\"title\">The King Dies</span>), 1967, and Paul Sparer’s script for <span class=\"title\">The Impromptu of Versailles</span> (produced under the title <span class=\"title\">Impromptu at Versailles</span>), 1964, are also included, although they contain few annotations. Of particular interest is Rabb’s script for <span class=\"title\">War and Peace</span> (1964), since it contains many handwritten notes and revisions.</p> <p>These scripts provide valuable insight into the evolution of the dialogue, as well as the physical production aspects, from rough blocking scripts to the scripts used for running the show by the stage managers. A 1980 script of <span class=\"title\">The Wild Duck</span> with Rabb’s name is filed here with APA playscripts, in order to keep works of the same title together. Screenplays and film treatments by Rabb for Michel de Ghelderode’s <span class=\"title\">Pantagleize</span>(1976 and undated) are also included here, since additional papers regarding the project are filed with APA papers.</p>"}
