Loose Sheets. Condition: Very Good +. Typescript. A group of original typescript and mimeo versions of one of Ted Allan's best plays. (1) about 75 pp of original and some carbon typescript of one of Allan's approximately 45 versions of the play (his son says he was never satisifed with the ending in particular, but these versions differ in stage directions and text throughout). Such typescript from Allan is scarce as the stored box of his various versions of this play was intentionally destroyed after his death. This version differs textually from each of the other versions offerred here. (2) A complete version of the play, with title indicating it was directed by Sean Connery and produced by Dore Schary, with an address of 850 Seventh Avenue, NY, telephoine CO 5-2290 (probably the original 1962 version). (3) Complete text of the "Revised Version 1985), itself with considerable additonal pencil changes and massive deletions, and three pages of pencil notes, by writer/director/producer Louis Brandt. Brandt was a once-blacklisted Hollywood writer. (4) The Sport of Gods, screenplay in glossy wraps, August 1989. "This play is a drastic rewrite of "The Secret of the World", produced in 1962 at the Theatre Royale, East Stratford, London, by Oscar Lewenstein and Michael White. Although the theme of disillusionment and the fall of kings remains the same, the plot has been altered as to make it a new play. Hence the new title" (from title page.).
