Excerpt from The Harvard Plays: A Collection of One Act Plays

All the plays in this volume were originally produced by The 47 Workshop, - not The 47 Workshops as one or two newspapers, appar ently recalling Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, have called the organization. The somewhat homely title means just what it suggests. This is a Workshop, because anyone who believes he has ability in any of the arts connected with the theatre acting, scene or costume designing, lighting, directing, or playwriting may here prove his quality. It is The 47 Workshop because it grew from a course in playwriting, English 47, for many years offered by the Depart ment of English of Harvard University.
