Lorraine Hansberry's Les blancs : manuscripts, 1969-1970.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62698746

Three versions of the stage play Les blancs, based on the unfinished manuscript by Lorraine Hansbury left to Robert Nemiroff at the time of her death. Nemiroff based his revisions on Hansberry's draft and notes. It is interesting to note that the play's structure changes at each revision; beginning as a three-act play, then two acts, and finally as a one act play in its final stage version.

Manuscripts: 3 v. ; 29 cm.
