by GIELGUD, John, English actor
Gielgud makes reference to the play he is touring "Dear Octopus" by Dodie Smith. He also mentions Emyln Williams' play "The Corn is Green" that is touring with Williams and Dame Sybil Thorndyke. Most of the letter concerns a possible production of Our Town. Gielgud wonders if the play should be done with an American cast or rewritten for an English one. Asks for a script and contact information for Wilder, etc. A terrific letter. (Inventory #: 33395)
