Letter from John [Gielgud]
SHAF/A/1/G/10 · Item · 29 Dec. [1958]
Part of Papers of Sir Peter Shaffer

46th St. Theater, New York - Is glad to hear that 'Five Finger Exercise' is still going well despite 'the invalid' and Juliet [Mills]'s absence; is glad he likes Peter Brook; is distressed to hear about Brian [?] showing him the letter about ['The Royal Hunt of the Sun']; he found the play discursive with too many characters and too slow in getting underway; opened ['The Ages of Man'] the night before, it has gotten rave reviews; had four days in Havana at Christmas; everyone talks of 'Five Finger Exercise', hopes to put it on there in September; sends his love.

SHAF/B/16/3/10 · Item · [20th-21st cent.]
Part of Papers of Sir Peter Shaffer

Mixed manuscript, typescript and photocopy, much revised, with repeating pages and miscellaneous order. Emphasis appears to be on the end of the play, with scenes of the court, the theatre, the doctor. Very similar to draft at item 11.
