      Note/s:

      • The Helen Haenke Collection at the University of Queensland's Fryer Library holds one copy of 'Pandora's Daughter'. The script has been typed with a typewriter onto thin white paper, apart from the second page of the manuscript which is handwritten on pale brown paper—it may only be brown with age. The first page of the script states that the play is by 'Epimethea', but this has been crossed out with pen and the author's name has been hand written underneath. The second page of the script, which is entirely hand written, details the characters and a description of the scene. There is also a small drawing of a bird's eye view of the stage. Towards the bottom of the page 'Pandora's Daughter' and 'A Little Show of Loving' are written in lead pencil. The third page of the script has the same character list as the second page, but with less description. It also has the same scene description as the second page but with more information. There is a larger and more comprehensive drawing of a bird's eye view of the stage. Throughout the script, several pieces of yellow paper have been taped in to make alterations.
