Alan,
You probably already know this, but the score that accompanies the original 1959 recording includes the following:
"Notes on staging the play, by Nikos Psacharopoulos": p. 112-114.
"Notes on costumes, by Robert Fletcher": p. 115-117.
Does that help at all?

	P.S.  I did find Brooks Atkinson's review of the original production, in fact--it is coupled with a review of Henry Fonda and Anne Bancroft in "Two for the Seesaw," so I didn't see it, at first.  Although Atkinson does mention the costumes, which he says "have the grandeur of medieval painting," but he gives no details about the production questions I'm interested in.

	 Does anyone know anything about the actual staging of Noah Greenberg's famous 1958 production of The Play of Daniel by the New York Pro Musica, or know where I might find a description?  The New York Times has articles about a European tour the troupe took in 1960 but no review of the original production and no details about it.  I'm particularly interested in how Greenberg staged the writing on the wall, the lions and the angel carrying Habbakuk through the air.
	
	Thanks in advance.
