Volunteers outside the USA: Rachel Crothers died in 1958. The author's work is still protected by copyright in places, like Europe, where copyright is author's death plus 70 years, and Australia (author's death plus 70 years for authors who died after 1955). However, this play also applies for the Rule of the Shorter Term, which has a provision that the author/translator must be a legal resident in the country of publication for it to affect a text's copyright status (see below for more details and countries that accept the Rule of the Shorter Term, including the UK and Australia).
A feminist drama that gained considerable critical and commercial success when it originally ran on Broadway. The play is about a husband and wife who also happen to be artists. A socially conscious battle of the sexes ensues over professional jealousy and whether the woman's place in the home should be thrown over for occupational dreams. (Summary by ChuckW & Amanda Friday)
- Is there a deadline?
We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.
Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline. - How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here

* IMPORTANT: While the above disclaimer says that this work is not PD 50/70, this text may (depending on the volunteer's location) apply for the Rule of the Shorter Term. Put simply, under this international agreement, signatory countries apply the copyright provisions of the country in which the work was first published. This rule has an additional provision that the author/translator must be a legal resident in the country of publication.
The Rule of the Shorter Term applies to this translation, as Crothers was an American citizen. This applies to volunteers in the following countries: Australia, Belgium, France, India, Ireland, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain and United Kingdom. This allows individual readers to make their own determinations. For more information, please visit the Librivox Wiki page on copyright information.Magic Window:
