The Hairy Ape: Production Book MBA Thesis by Robert R. Brown, 1949 Stanford University Thesis, School of Speech & Drama

A rare find, this is a bound thesis by Robert R. Brown (R.R. Brown), 1949mMasters Degree candidate at the Stanford University School of Speech & Drama. The thesis begins with an analysis of the play The Hairy Ape by Eugene O'Neill followed by a detailed production plan for the stage play which was then produced and performed at the Stanford Studio Players Theatre from January 26-29, 1949, directed by R.R. Brown. The book includes clipping from local reviews describing Mr. Brown's efforts... "R.R. Brown, director, shirked from none of the striking, often almost overpowering dramatic effect created by Eugene O'Neill." In short, a hit! 

A wonderful gift for students of the performing arts or fans of Eugene O'Neill's master works.
