197045426New York: Max Ember 1970. Very Good. New York: Max Ember ca. 1970s. Quarto 29.5cm; post-bound mottled gray card wrappers; 1685026ll. printed mimeograph on rectos only. Light wear and toning to wrapper margins chiefly at spine foot front wrapper separating from metal binding clasp and first leaf slightly askew uneven toning to textblock; overall Very Good and sound.<br /> <br /> Stage script for an adaptation of Joan Didion's 1970 novel which had already been adapted into film in 1972. This adaptation for the stage was presumably written later in the 1970s when Ember's career started to take off after writing the Broadway adaptation of It's a Wonderful Life in 1976 and directing a revival of Death of a Salesman in 1977. <br /> <br /> While we haven't found contemporary press Ember shared with us that the production -- featuring a white box set heavy use of projectors costumes all in white for easy projection etc. -- was staged in Manhattan.<br /> No copies in the trade or OCLC as of September 2025.
