ČAPEK, Karel. How A Play Is Produced
ČAPEK, Karel. How A Play Is Produced. Trans. by P. Beaumont Wadsworth. Illustrated by Joseph Čapek. London: Geoffrey Bles. 1928. 8vo. Publisher’s yellow cloth lettered in black to the spine and upper board, in the fabulous dust jacket designed by Ralph Keene. An about fine copy, the cloth a trifle marked at front, but the binding tight and square. The contents clean and fine throughout with a touch of offsetting to endpapers. The dust jacket priced 6s net to spine, complete, just a trifle marked and bumped. A splendid copy.
A fairly obscure title from the science fiction writer, being a comprehensive guide on how to produce a play, from the script to the stage, “through what transformations it has to pass before it bursts from its chrysalis in all the beauty and splendour of its first night”. Čapek produced several plays, most notably the acclaimed R.U.R. (1921). Ralph Keene, the jacket illustrator, designed another of Ċapek’s works. Uncommon.
