Typescript draft of "Ibsen's ghost" by Sir James Matthew Barrie, with corrections and revisions in the hand of the author.

 Item
Identifier: MS.6645
Scope and Contents

"Ibsen's ghost" was the first play written entirely by Sir James Matthew Barrie to be publicly performed; it was staged in 1891 at "Toole's Theatre", hence the alternative title given in the typescript, and cancelled, 'or Toole-up-to-date'. It has not been published. Many of the alterations in this draft are in the nature of cuts; in particular the rhyming finale has been cut.

Dates: [1891, or before.]
