File of holograph personal letters from playwright Tom Murphy, Dublin, to Kilroy. Offering positive commentary on Tea and Sex and Shakespeare and its mooted director and lead actor. On his own work: "The J. Arthur Maginnis Story" (preliminary title) and its development; the disappointment with The Blue Macushla ; US production of The Sanctuary Lamp. Juxtaposing American lack of inhibition with their mistaken search for "philosophical content" (22 May 1980). Offering praise for Kilroy's play [The Madame MacAdam Travelling Theatre] and giving his opinion of critic David Nowlan [1991].
