Publishing
One book was released under the Mercury Theatre imprint:
- Orson Welles and Roger Hill, The Mercury Shakespeare (Harper and Row, New York, 1939)
This was in fact a revised version of the 1934 volume Everybody's Shakespeare, published by the 19-year-old Welles and his former school teacher & lifelong friend Roger Hill. The book contained "acting versions" (i.e. abridgments) of Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night and The Merchant of Venice. Accompanying the book, the Mercury Theatre released three sets of specially-recorded 12-inch 78 gramophone records of these plays. Each of the three plays filled up 11, 10 and 12 records respectively.

Famous quotes containing the word publishing:
“While you continue to grow fatter and richer publishing your nauseating confectionery, I shall become a mole, digging here, rooting there, stirring up the whole rotten mess where life is hard, raw and ugly.”
—Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)
