    The script of 'Harlequin's Positions' was long presumed lost. The Irish Times reported in 1966 that an Oxford academic had finally located the missing typescript with the help of the artist's niece, Anne Yeats. A handwritten playscript is currently held as part of the Jack B. Yeats Collection in the archives of NUI Galway.
