Laurence Eyre (1881-1959) was a playwright whose work was produced on Broadway. The Laurence Eyre scripts date from 1911 to about 1950. The collection includes both produced and unproduced works. All of the scripts are typed, with the exception of Eyre's original manuscript draft of The Shakespeare Play: A Drama in Rhythmic Prose. The collection includes sides for Mis' Nelly of N'Orleans, some of which have handwritten changes. Most of the scripts are unmarked. A few of the scripts include costume and set designs.
