PAUL GREEN
Signature of the Pulitzer Prize-winner playwright on a 3½x2½ card
Signature: "Paul Green", 3½x2½ card, accompanied by 3½x2½ card with
typed bio. Dramatist Paul Green (1894-1981), one of the South's most revered
writers, was awarded the 1927 Pulitzer Prize in Drama for In Abraham's
Bosom, his first Broadway play. The work was followed by six additional
Broadway plays as well a screenplay, short story collections and non-fiction
books. His pacifist musical Johnny Johnson (1936), featured music by Kurt
Weill written while Green was having an affair with Weill's wife Lotte Lenya.
Beginning with The Lost Colony (1937), Green created "symphonic
dramas" intended for outdoor performance, the first of their kind in the US.
In his later years he lectured on human rights for UNESCO and taught at the
University of North Carolina. The Lost Colony is still performed every
summer at the Fort Raleigh (N.C.) National Historic Site. Lightly creased.
Folds, vertical fold between the "au" of Paul. Ink note (unknown hand) on verso
lightly shows through at lower left blank edge. Fine condition.
