Thanks him for the champagne, is sorry the notices have not been as good as she hoped, watched him on the 'South Bank Show'; was happy to see Diane [Cilento] and Tony [Shaffer] on the first night.

Three letters dated 27 Feb., 1 and 3 March from Sydney. He describes being ill with inflamed glands, visiting the Sydney hospital, and improving after Diane Cilento adjusts his back and head; having dinner with Diane's friend Patrick Hockey and others who talked about their blood lines and their money, and make unwanted sexual advances; describes Diane's plans to direct a movie called 'The Last Tango of Rudolph Valentino' and going to 'Love & Pain & the Whole Damn Thing' with Diane to evaluate Maggie Smith for the film. Describes Sydney's beauty and peacefulness and expense; going to the Opera House, also beautiful, to see Dame Joan Sutherland in 'Lucrezia Borgia', though he thinks the acoustics too bright and [Richard] Bonynge 'played it like Waltzing Matilda'; describes the bodies of the people on Bondi Beach, which 'would drive [Paul] Giovanni out of his mind'; goes to the zoo and sees a platypus; hopes PS is holding up well with Milos [Forman].

Karnak Playhouse, P.O. Box 167, Mossman, Far North Queensland 4873 - Enjoyed her visit to his terrace in New York City; think they have a full sponsor for the theatre; her son Jason [Connery] will give him the tape to give him an idea of it; shares a recipe for hamburger; found the New York version of 'Lettice and Lovage' a much more polished affair than the London event.

Cairns, Queensland - Finally arrived after delays due to a cyclone; went to Karnak, Diane [Cilento] and Tony's place; arrived to find Tony hiding from a process server; is 'clipped' for expensive lunches and petrol for Diane's truck. He describes Karnak, 'truly silly', and the sudden departure of Diane and then Tony for Sydney; he goes scuba diving with friends Ulla and Deter [?]; thinks Diane is tired of Tony and has what she wants, she doesn't treat him with respect and he doesn't seem to fit in.

Sydney - Is staying with Patrick [Hockey] and getting organised to go to the Far East; is sorry things aren't going well for PS, agrees the movie business 'stinks'; has encountered it in the form of Jeanne Maroux [Mareau?] who is here for Diane [Cilento]'s film; Tony does not behave, brags and is pompous; Diane is 'running scared', outclassed by Jeanne; being around Tony costs him money as he has to pay for expensive things; tells PS to go ahead and buy the stables, is appreciating England more now.

Writes from the Grand Canyon, where they've been for a helicopter ride; on to Taos. With a postscript by Tony [Shaffer] with his good wishes.

Karnak Playhouse & Rainforest Sanctuary - Parts of his letter was read at the tribute to Tony [Shaffer], with Bille Brown, Grandfather Morning Owl [James Barnett], Jason Connery, and Jeremy Johnson, and encloses newspaper clippings about the tribute; discusses Ms Capece's claims about her affair with Tony, says that in 1999 Tony was totally incapacitated; doesn't believe Tony wrote the book ['So What Did You Expect?'], 'not at all his real style'.

Karnak Playhouse & Rainforest Sanctuary - Thanks him for his letter, remembers the holiday in France very well, remembers how 'electrifying' Robert [Leonard] was; is enclosing a poem meant to be read at Tony [Shaffer]'s tribute and a précis of her life with Tony [neither item present]; hopes he will write a couple more plays at least; includes a poster [not present] for a concert given by David Helfgott and Jane Rutter to save Karnak from being sold.
