Scope and Content

These are soft-bound actors' parts for plays which Sims either authored or co-authored. Within the parts, there is evidence of their being loaned out to actors and also used by producers; they vary in the degree of manuscript additions or cuts made for abridged versions of the dramas. The parts themselves would also appear to be for different versions (either "original version" or "twice nightly version"). Unfortunately, for some of the dramas, parts only survive for a proportion of the characters.
