A collection of pages with lines for a theatrical production; the script purports to be the final authority when there is a question at rehearsal.
Nevertheless, changes are made to the script right up to dress rehearsal, and it is not uncommon to find as many as half a dozen scripts on the director's desk: "Two Top Hats and a Spy", "Top Hats revised", "Top Hats: latest edition", "Top Hats: no deaths", and "Top Hats: Collector's Edition".
