About This Item
Plays: Three original individual copies of Alma Mater by Kathleen Collison-Morley. A school-house comedy set in the aftermath of the Blitz in World War II. Unpublished, but likely performed, as suggested by multiple copies.
One original script of A House Divided, 3-act play; a comedy of domestic star-crossed lovers from rival families who are sharing a house.
A prolific 20th century author, Kathleen Collison-Morley began her career penning poetry for local newspapers. Her observant prose appears in Punch in the late '20s, The Cape Times consistently from 1930, as well as The Times, The Manchester Guardian, and The Morning Post.
Album: Decades worth of press cuttings of the works of Kathleen Collison-Morley, beginning early in her career with snippets of 'letters to the editor' alongside short poetry, culminating in full page vignettes, short fictions and stories. Through the course of the decade recorded in the album, her writing style evolves into short fictions and vignettes of lifetimes lived around the globe.
Five pieces, all quarto. Four handbound typescripts of plays with pale blue cloth wraps over typewriter script. One Quarto memorabilia album, brown paper covered boards patterned and stamped with bird and floral designs. Brown card leaves bound together, all edges gilt.
