1989 Romeo & Juliet Theater Program - Rare Annotated Working Copy - Lance Hewett

A unique theatrical artifact: a vintage 1989 program from the University of West Florida’s production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. This is a rare "working copy" featuring extensive handwritten directorial annotations and performance critiques in ink throughout. The notes provide fascinating "behind-the-scenes" insights into character analysis, blocking, and technical cues (e.g., "Speech needs to be more articulate," and analysis of "medieval transitions").

Directed by the notable guest director Lance Hewett, known for his distinguished career in Off-Off-Broadway theater, this program includes the full cast list and production credits, as well as Hewett's directorial notes. The cover features classic black-and-white dagger-and-rose graphic art. This item is perfect for theater historians, Shakespeare collectors, or UWF alumni. A true piece of 1980s stage history.

Item condition: Excellent Vintage Condition. Shows minor natural paper toning and light edge wear consistent with its 1989 origin. Contains extensive cursive handwritten notes that add significant unique value.
