A finding-aid record from Dartmouth College's Rauner Special Collections Library, Archives and Manuscripts, part of the Errol Hill Papers (ML-77, Box 2, Folder 66, Item 1), for a study guide and press materials titled "The Goodman Guide to Death and the King's Horseman, written and directed by Wole Soyinka, The Goodman Theatre, Chicago, October 5-November 11, 1979." It documents an exact production run and confirms Soyinka both wrote and directed this Chicago staging himself. Cited here for that production date and authorship, not for any judgment of the production itself.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Reliability tier 1: an archival finding aid held by Dartmouth College's Rauner Special Collections Library, an institutional primary record of the material it describes. NotesNo publication year is given: this is an archival finding-aid record, not a dated publication in its own right, and its own catalogue entry carries no imprint year, only the October 5 to November 11, 1979 date range of the production it describes. That absence is named here rather than left silent. Reliability tier 1: a primary institutional archival record naming an exact production date range and confirming authorship, held by the item's own custodian.
