Letter from Irene Handl
SHAF/B/7/1 · Item · 29 Dec. 1967
Part of Papers of Sir Peter Shaffer

Is very sorry not to be able to play Miss Furnival and Baroness Lemberg, reluctantly returns his scripts, as she finds they tend to be in short supply.

SHAF/A/1/C/42 · Item · 29 Sept. [1974]
Part of Papers of Sir Peter Shaffer

Answers Peter's questions about Magistrate's Courts, and returns part of a letter he sent her with questions about the court answered on the letter itself; in the letter from Shaffer he describes what he is writing as a 20 minute farce: 'an aria, in the witness box, for Irene Handl (hopefully) with angry interruptions from a bandaged husband'; Raymond [Leppard?] is in good spirits, and all seems fine between him and Peter [?]; asks him to let them know how the opening of 'Equus' goes.
