Script of Horse Eats Hat

Postby Jay1968 » Fri Jul 22, 2016 5:27 pm

Does anyone know if a copy of Orson's Horse Eats Hat is available? I know he adapted it. I have seen at least two translations from the French of An Italian Straw Hat that can be readily procured, but I have not been able to find a trace of Orson's. Does it still exist? Just curious.
