This sub-fonds contains drafts and related materials for works created by Graves specifically for performance or the cinema. This includes adaptations by Graves of works by other authors. Where Graves adapted his own, earlier work for performance or the cinema, those drafts and texts can be found in the series associated with the original works. These include: 'The Anger of Achilles'; 'Christmas Truce'; 'Está en su Casa'; 'I, Claudius'. See also the subject correspondence file for Graves's play 'But it Still Goes On'.
