Programme for the Cambridge Arts Theatre 30 June - 5 July 1958 and the Comedy Theatre from 16 July 1958. Playbill programme dated 18 Apr. 1960.

Inscribed to Peter "with love and grateful thanks" by Bryant.

Typescript draft with emendations in Shaffer's hand, lacking the first few pages of Act I. The last page includes five lines of shorthand at the bottom.

Typescript, with emendations in Shaffer's hand throughout, of an early draft of the play. With a title sheet [written later?] in Shaffer's hand, "The Public Eye, A Play in One Act by Peter Shaffer."

Loose sheets with cover page in Shaffer's hand "Royal Hunt M.S.S.," typed pages with revisions in Shaffer's hand throughout.

The last quarter of the MS appears to have been turned around and has been left that way as the MS has no pagination. Near the end of the MS there are two sheets of an introduction, and at the beginning of the turned pages is a one page review of "Cosi fan tutte" at Glyndebourne (incomplete). At the front is a card or a cover with a drawing of the sun.

Two programmes for the production at the Old Vic Theatre with Colin Blakely and Robert Stephens, with two cast lists, one of them a duplicated version signed by Kenneth Mackintosh, who played Fray Marcos de Nizza. Accompanied by a programme with a cutting from the New York Herald Tribune from 18 Dec. 1864.

Thanks him for a wonderful evening - everyone seems to like 'Black Comedy.'

Comments on a play of Peter's that he has read, thinks it would be a better opera.

Would like to meet him.

Is sure he will get rave reviews; sends best wishes for a great success.

Congratulations on debut [as an actress], likelihood of an opening in the Ceylon Co for Bertie.
