      Note/s:

      • The Helen Haenke Collection at the University of Queensland's Fryer Library holds one copy of 'A Street Stall'. The script has been typed by a typewriter on brown paper, but the first page has significant handwritten annotations in blue ink. The annotations include redistribution of characters and descriptions of them. There is also a list of names with ticks beside them—possibly a list of cast members for a performance of the show? In the top left corner of the page there is a rust mark from a paper clip, and an ink line that has traced the rust mark. Also, the first page is physically shorter than the rest of the pages.
