Is there anywhere online for FREE to access this script? Thank you :)

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

My favorite play of all-time. I bought a George S. Kaufman anthology because I liked the script so much. Reading a lot of Kaufman and would strongly suggest buying the script or even the anthology. It's worth every cent.

It's not online that I could find, anyway.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Try your local library. Have we forgotten about them?

Dollypop - my local library seems to dislike all things theatrical..they hide scripts and movie musicals in the basement and godforbid they actually own more than 3 scripts besides Shakespeare.
But alas, I do have my script now, and I'm in love with this show and the part :)
