Initialed lower right, 'DJ' and dated 1957. Titled, 'Look Homeward, Angel' and 'Eugene Grant, Anthony Perkins'. Inscribed with costume designer notes and bearing costumer's fabric swatches. Costumes for this production were undertaken by Motley Design Group (Margaret Harris, Audrey Sophia Harris and Elizabeth Montgomery).
Premiering on November 28, 1957 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Broadway, 'Look Homeward, Angel' ran for a total of 564 performances, closing on April 4, 1959. Directed by George Roy Hill, written by Ketti Frings, and based on Thomas Wolfe's 1929 largely autobiographical novel of the same title, the cast starred Jo Van Fleet and Anthony Perkins. Ketti Frings won the 1958 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award.
