Series Description

From the Series:

Again, this series is divided into Produced and Unproduced material.



The sub-series of produced works is arranged by production date. The bulk of the sub-series consists of Pancho Villa’s Wedding Day, which, after Shrake turned it from a film script into a play script, underwent more incarnations, including as a musical. Numerous, corrected drafts are included, from 1977 to 1994, when he stopped revising it. The play was staged in 1984. The last play in the series, The Friend of Carlos Monzon, was staged posthumously, and materials from that production, though not directly donated by Shrake, are included.

The Unproduced sub-series contains only one untitled playscript,and notes, correspondence, research and a corrected draft for “Jack,” a play Shrake co-wrote with Michael Rudman, but failed to get produced.
