Great history of the play and well researched

I was in this show back in 1975, and have been looking for a copy for a long time. The book is wonderfully researched and there are many facts that most people would not know if they didn't read this book. Over the years, there have been several revisions of the script and most of the revisions are contained in this book. It is fascinating how attitudes have changed over the years and how the script has changed to accommodate current ethnic beliefs. I give this book full marks for the research and full script that is included.
