Finding the script ought to be easy--try the Drama Book Shop in NYC or a UK equivalent.

But, and this is a humongous but...the script has no stage directions and no character designations. It is a series of speeches found among the authors writings after her death. It is up to the director to decide how many actors to use and who says what and to whom.

This is not a script to try without a director. It is also downbeat, static and has little 'build'. It is not what I would term a good audition source.

The play would be a better piece to work on for an entire academic year as a project. There is a great deal of discovery to do and decisions to be made prior to performance.
