Scope and content

Over 300 playscript pages found together, with little runs of consecutive pages, but no overall order, and a combination of heavily revised manuscript, typescript, and photocopies of the printed play emended by Shaffer. Some of these carry dates of 1998 and 1999. With a card inserted in the general run of papers (f. 208) written in an unidentified hand indicating that a letter from Peter to David Suchet has been removed (possibly the letter at B11/1/188).
