Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers

Lot 373

The Playwrights gives his view of the State of Irish Theatre& Outlines the Case for a New DepartureFRIEL, Brian, Dramatist [1929-2015]. An important typescript signed letter, 5 pp, with a manuscript postscript, December 1974, from his home near Lifford, Co. Donegal, to the Abbey actor Pat Laffan (a member of the Actors Equity council) and the theatre designer Bronwyn Cassin, giving a frank view of the state of Irish theatre, and outlining the case for a new departure. The letter arises from discussions in an Equity subcommittee of which Friel and Laffan were members. 'My first concern, probably my only concern', Friel says, 'is the state of theatre in Ireland today. I think we are on the verge of a new direction .. Do we think automatically in terms of how best the Abbey can be reformed and made the vehicle for these new concepts, or do we attempt the new excursion without the inhibition of an existing place ..? The decision I have come to is that the Abbey, even a reformed Abbey, cannot [be] the incubator. It has evolved into an institution of such magnitude that necessarily most of its energy is consumed with keeping alive and keeping open. Before it even begins to think of what kind of plays it ought to do .. it is concerned .. with its capital, its publicity, its expenditure, its intake, its public, its cleaners, its caterers .. These are not the problems that are exercising me. Nor were they the problems of Yeats-Gregory-Fay ..'Our concern .. is to forge a new Irish drama .. The new voice I think I detect and the new direction I know to be necessary are the things that engage me now, and these could not find accommodation in Abbey Street. Even if the Abbey could be restructured .. the whole Abbey enterprise would be too lavish and too expensive to nurture a new and delicate and uncertain idea ...'When I come to a writing-down of what form the new Irish drama will take, of course I falter. I have no precise answers .. He says it will not be a Gaelic-speaking or a poetic drama, because both of these are elitist in practice and theatre is by definition vulgar, of the vulgus. It has nothing at all to do with politics because they are trivial, of no importance whatever.'What I envisage is a small group of actors, writers, designers who are drawn together out of mutual concern and interest; a vague but very real awareness that what is taking place on Irish stages bears very little relationship to either the imaginative or the day-to-day life we inhabit; a recognition that what it is to be Irish must be shaped and presented; a knowledge that the old seam of realism-naturalism is exhausted; a conviction that we cannot grab a theory from England or Germany or the U.S. or wherever .. a belief that these new definitions .. will evoke a response at first from tiny audiences but later from greater numbers .. and that we must find new eyes and ears and tongues to see and hear and express the Ireland that hasn't been expressed dramatically for 30 years.'Although Friel remained with the Abbey for some years more, notably with his great play Faith Healer [1979], it is clear that the line of thinking outlined here was what led him in 1980 to become co-founder of the Field Day Theatre -- precisely the kind of loose creative collaboration he suggests in this remarkable letter. Throughout the 1980s his work was produced by Field Day, beginning with Translations [1980], but in 1990 he finally returned to the Abbey with Dancing at Lughnasa.With an earlier manuscript signed letter to Laffan, May 1974, 2 pp, outlining similar ideas, and a note dated 27 Oct. (no year) about casting for a film. An important collection of letters from one of the great masters of Irish Theatre, outlining ideas and dilemmas which are still relevant today. Friel rarely gave interviews, and this is a very valuable exposition of his ideas as he approached a turning point in his career. A Saoi of Aos Dána, with a string of Broadway successes to his name, Friel was undoubtedly the leading Irish playwright of the latter half of the 20th century. As a m/ss, w.a.f. (3)

International Autograph Auctions Ltd.

Lot 129

MILNE A. A.: (1882-1956) English Author, creator of Winnie-the-Pooh. A remarkable presentation book signed and inscribed, featuring nine original (and presumably unpublished) verses by Milne, being a hardback edition of his play Michael and Mary, First Edition published by Chatto & Windus, London, 1930. Signed and inscribed by Milne, using his family name ('Blue'), to his wife on the front free endpaper, 'For my darling from her Blue', also adding the words ' "I suppose you do know -" ' and the date, 28th May 1930, in his hand beneath the inscription. To the following two pages, including the half title page, Milne has neatly penned nine original verses, comprising a total of fifty lines, each relating to nine of the characters in his play and the actors who created the roles on the London stage, signed ('A.A.M.') at the conclusion with his initials, in part, 'Michael - Rowe played nightly by a BartSteers his way into the heartOnly Michael's Marshall carriagePulls him through that risky marriage' (the role of Michael created by Herbert Marshall) 'Mary - When I hear your "Don't you dare toTouch me" I can hardly bear toSit in silence. I am dyingTo burst in upon you, cryingThank you, Edna, very much. YouAngel, nobody can touch you' (the role of Mary created by Edna Best) 'David - When all of us are dead and goneAnd even Frankie Lawton's oldIf actors still come "off" and "on"And tickets still are bought and sold"How good"…thee…will say"That fellow - can't remember nameses - "Did - you know - in that rotten play"By what's-it at the old St. James's"' (the role of David created by Frank Lawton) 'Inspector - The burglar, whether British born or foreignNever escapes Inspector Thatcher (Torin)If she's a female crook, Inspector ThatcherCan always be relied upon to catch her' (the role of the Inspector created by Torin Thatcher) 'Price - A horrible villain was Price, I'm afraidWith his record of marriages hastily madeAt a registry office, and vice-lessAnd, though it sounds odd, I am bound to confessThat in voice and department, in manners and dressThe way that you played him was priceless' (the role of Harry Price created by D. A. Clarke Smith) Bound in the publisher's dark beige cloth and with a cream paper label (slightly chipped) printed in black to the spine, and lacking the dust jacket. A wonderful and rare association copy. Some foxing and light age toning to the preliminary pages, most notable to the title page, and only very slightly affecting Milne's text. G Dorothy 'Daphne' de Selincourt (1890-1971) Wife of A. A. Milne (from 1913) and the mother of Christopher Robin Milne. Her husband's affectionate inscription in the present volume can be explained by the close of Michael and Mary; in the play the character of Michael turns to Mary, mother of their son, David, and proclaims 'I suppose you do know, Mary, that, much as I love him, I love your little finger - your funny little finger, more than all of David?', Mary gently replying 'I think I did know, Michael. You've got a funny little finger too'. Michael and Mary is considered to be one of Milne's most successful light comedic dramas and is a play about marriage, raising issues regarding law, religion, morality and illegitimacy. The play was originally staged in New York before moving to London where it opened at the St. James's Theatre on 1st February 1930 and starred Herbert Marshall and Edna Best (themselves married from 1928-40, and also the couple to whom Milne dedicated the present book) in the title roles. A year later Michael Balcon produced a film version of the play, retaining the stage cast in their roles. It was the first of Marshall and Best's co-starring talkies and was voted the third best British movie of 1932. A. A. Milne was a noted writer, primarily a playwright, before the enormous success of his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh overshadowed all of his previous work. The enduring popularity of Milne's character is evident in the recent 90th anniversary celebrations of Winnie-the-Pooh's first arrival in Hundred Acre Wood. Provenance: The present volume was previously part of The Roy Davids Collection of Poetical Manuscripts and was originally acquired by him directly from the Milne family without any intermediate ownership.

A few minor, small tears and stains to the edges of the covers and some very light overall age wear, not affecting the signature, otherwise VG Sylvester Stallone (1946- ) is perhaps most famous for his screen role as Rocky Balboa in a series of seven films made between 1976 and 2015.

Stallone and Warhol's paths crossed on several occasions, beginning in 1979 in New York. On each occasion Stallone recalls Warhol taking his portrait. Warhol was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as Pop Art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. His New York City studio, The Factory, was a well-known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy patrons. Warhol is credited with coining the widely-used expression '15 minutes of fame'.

Pottinger and Miss. Hurst. Du Maurier writes 'I am glad you enjoyed the story of "Rebecca"' and continues to answer her correspondent's questions, '1. The heroine was nameless on purpose, because I wished to see if it were possible to write a complete story without once giving a name to the chief character. And I succeeded! 2. The second question is too difficult to answer. No author can say why he or she thinks of a particular theme. The idea just comes slowly, and is then worked out on paper'.
