Iffie

Steven James Silva (screenwriter)

N.p. N.p., 1979. Draft script for an unproduced film. Laid in with the script is a typed synopsis of the prospective film, with the copied signature of screenwriter Steven James Silva at the bottom. Stapled to the recto of the rear wrapper is a brown paper mailing envelope, ostensibly the one used to ship the script to its recipient.

Loosely based on the Greek myth of Iphigenia, daughter of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra, who was sacrificed as recompense for her father's misdeeds. In screenwriter Steven James Silva's updated version, Iphegenia becomes "Iffie," a gifted writer who rises to fame, to the bitterness and jealousy of her friends and family.

Set in New York and Connecticut.
