Scope and content
File of correspondence between Austin Clarke and Mary O'Malley, mainly about the staging of his plays and other theatre matters. Includes some programmes from the Lyric Theatre Company of Dublin, which Clarke established in the 1940s, including those for The Magic Glasses and The Moment Next to Nothing , both written by Clarke. Also includes Clarke's comments on O'Malley's plans to stage a play based on the work of James Joyce: 'I wonder how the actors will memorise so many pages of sheer "gibberish". The effect on the audience of an entire evening of almost unintelligible language should be interesting' (7 October 1958).
