About This Item
1975. First Edition. Wrappers. Very good. Playscript. 56; 53 photo-mechanically duplicated leaves printed rectos only (each act paginated separately). Brad-bound into unprinted blue card covers. Signed, presentation copy, inscribed by Pinter to fellow playwright, poet, and 1960s English gadabout Heathcote Williams: "To Heathcote from Harold." The presentation continues to a laid in ALs from Pinter on his 7 Hanover Terrace stationary:
"Oct 7. / Dear Heathcote / How are you? / I'm very sorry I've / never written to / you about your / last piece. I found / it difficult to / write & still do. // However, I send / you this. / How are you? / Love / Harold [.]" Also laid in is a photocopy of a "letter to the editor" by D.A. Cairns (apparently sent along by Pinter to Williams), claiming that all the character names in the play are based on famous English cricketers. Small tear on front wrap and first leaf, some smudging and stains on wrappers and last few leaves, else very good.
