Richard Hoffman collection of American and British theater and film scripts, 1958-2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/495700483

The Richard Hoffman collection of American and British theater and film scripts spans the dates 1956-2003 and comprises four linear feet of play scripts and screenplays, mostly Broadway and Off-Broadway plays. Assembled by the writer and Brooklyn-based bookdealer Richard Hoffman, the collection also includes a few accompanying photographs, playbills, and theater programs. Hoffman assembled a broad representation of seventy-seven American and British plays, including multiple scripts by playwrights and screenwriters James L. Brooks, Frank D. Gilroy, Tom Jones, Lyle Kessler, and Hugh Leonard. Most items are the working script copies of cast and crew members and thus the cover wrappers and inside pages show normal wear from use. Many scripts bear the annotations, revisions, stage directions, and notes made by cast and crew members. Occasionally, a script includes accompanying playbills or photographs related to the film or play.
