An original copy of the script for this play about a Japanese-American woman and her family awaiting deportation to an internment camp during World War II. Directed by Steven Robman, the performance follows Tamako and her family as they gather at the Santa Anita race track prior to deportation, and, according to one review, "the Japanese garden serves as a framework, and the woman's life is seen through that poetic and intensely moving metaphor." Photocopies of two contemporary reviews are laid in. OCLC records a copy at the New York Public Library with a slightly different pagination.
