Olivier Archive. Vols. CDV-CDVI. “The entertainer”, by John Osborne. Autograph draft, probably the first, with many additions and deletions.

This version almost certainly antedates the typed version of Act 1 which George Devine sent to Olivier in New York in late 1956, which Olivier is said to have read at once and telephoned Devine to say he would accept the part on the strength of that act alone.Add MS 80170-80171
