Pièce 33 - Letter from Paul Scofield

2 sheets, 1 env.

The Gables, Balcombe, Sussex - Cherishes his letter; as Peter [Hall] has probably already told him, he wants to stay with both Salieri and Othello in London, hopes PS agrees with him; the first four performances after Christmas were very exciting; has never been in a play that gets cheering ovations every time; confused a line in one performance, said Teresa was 'in her mother with Verona' but they didn't giggle, and succeeded in actually cutting his throat in another: 'sharp words with the stage-management'; enjoys every word of the play, 'there is always a feel of danger' which makes it exhilarating and alarming.
