About This Item
New York: Ballantine Books, 1956. First edition of this collection of eight previously unpublished television scripts selected by Gore Vidal. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Editor photograph by Roger Moore. Each of the scripts collected here was written to be performed live before camera in the space of about fifty minutes, and each has resulted in an exciting, memorable production. From the angry power of Thunder on Sycamore Street to the sharp wit of Visit to a Small Planet, the range and mood of material is impressive. These reading versions present the complete text as performed with special additional passages by the authors to make clear the stage action and setting.
