Letter from Mark Govier
SHAF/A/1/G/44 · Item · 3 Nov. 1996
Part of Papers of Sir Peter Shaffer

Asks for his opinion of why historical drama is out of favour with theatres, notes that he wrote a play on the Pre-Raphaelites, which no one but Andrew Lloyd Webber looked at; has also written a play about the life of Newton.

SHAF/A/1/L/54 · Item · 31 Oct. [c 1970?]
Part of Papers of Sir Peter Shaffer

Thanks him for his letter, he understands his point, although Wodehouse wants a musical that reworks his ideas, one is still tied to his world, a problem; is intrigued that PS is interested in the musical as a form, not many decent writers seem that interested; would welcome the chance to work with PS, in part because he is fed up with the saying that the British can't write a good musical.
