The programme for the first production of Pound and Fleming’s Elektra, a collection of adverts in which is gathered a few articles and titles for the play. Together with two card flyers featuring same cover design and information on the play; two ticket stubs (pink card) for the Tuesday evening performance, November 17 1987, priced $18; Notes from the Director, an 8pp. photocopy on two leaves, folded and loosely gathered, a great brief piece on the simultaneity of Pound & Sophocles, Elektra and Pound, the House of Atreus and St. Elizabeths; finally, a promotional poster for the CSC’s 1987/88 season, the first play listed being Elektra, printed in orange and blue and folded to square format. All fine enough.
