The Playscript Archive of Nora LeverNora Lever, who died in 1996, was active in Dublin theatre for almost 50 years. In 1951 she founded the 37 Theatre Club with Barry Cassin to produce experimental work. When that venue had to close, she continued as a freelance producer and actor. She taught speech and drama at Alexandra College and at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, and was a life-long campaigner for animal welfare. The present archive includes a lifetime's collection of original playscripts, mostly typescript or cyclostyled, some with amendments and additions, many by young writers who went on to make their mark. It is particularly strong in work by women writers (it appears that about 1986 she appealed publicly for new work by women writers). It includes many production copies, extensively marked up and amended for production. For some revue or pageant-type productions, these scripts may be the only extant record.There are more than 50 playscripts by some 40 writers, including four works by Teresa Deevy, Wife to James Whelan (with production plan on notepaper of Mme Bannard-Cogley's Studio Theatre Club), Beyond Alma's Glory, In the Cellar of my Friend, Dignity; four by Maurice Meldon (Aisling, One Brave Day, Song of the Parakeet, House Under Green Shadows); three early sketches by Bernard Farrell, Holiday Break, The Interview and The Line of Duty [with production markings]; Nora Lever's own work The Lost Book (manuscript), also Jane Eyre (adapted from Bronte, orig. ms.); Paul Vincent Carroll, Coggerers (5 copies for a Dublin Theatre Group production); Mary Rose Callaghan (A House for Fools); Rita Kelly (Mrs. Waters, wife of Eoghan Ó Tuairisc), Wedding at Wittenberg [play about Luther], with extensive amendments and production markings; Anne Tait, So Great a Sweetness, compiled from the letters of W.B.
