The papers of Orson Welles are housed in the Lilly Library of Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405-3301. Tel: (812) 855-2452. With the exception of WAR OF THE WORLDS researchers will have difficulty with Welles's scripts (aside from the problem of whether the Lilly library will make copies). This is because Welles churned out most of his stuff within a very short period of time, and was constantly revising up until airtime. I have even heard that on occasion, east coast and west coast versions of the same show were different (the production would be repeated to compensate for the time zone difference). The scripts I have studied have many pages torn, stapled, taped, and contain numerous emendations in pencil. It's a treasure trove for the scholar - but a little tough if all you want to do is try to perform the stuff. I would enjoy dicussing radio and radio drama. It's part of my dissertation-in-progress, tentatively titled "The Radio Music of Bernard Herrmann." I wonder if our listowner, who has often showed a great deal of that famed Southern hospitality when it concerns topics of digression, would tolerate such a discussion. If not, I would gladly continue offline.
