2. The Tales of the Nordic Sagas – Scripts based on Norse mythological traditions.
3. Religious and Moral Dramas – Plays exploring Christian moral themes and early Church history.
Most items are typed scripts, several containing annotations or manuscript amendments indicating revisions for broadcast or performance. Multiple versions of certain plays exist, including lightly revised or annotated duplicates.
