Chronometrage report for Inspector General

From The Director's Prism: E. T. A. Hoffmann and the Russian Theatrical Avant-Garde by Dassia N. Posner

  • A typed list of the episodes in Inspector General with the run time for each written in by hand. This chronometrage report is from a performance later in the production’s stage life: there are fewer episodes than in the General rehearsal playbill for Inspector General, and several appear in a different order.
