Scope and content
Letters received by Siobhán McKenna, including letter from John Bryan, New York, to Siobhán McKenna apologising for not writing sooner as he is getting The Wayward Saint into production. He is sorry to hear that she thinks the part too small for her American debut, because he feels the part can be played well even if it is dominated by the two men (4 Jan 1955). Also letter from Lelia Doolin, Director of the Dramatic Society, UCD, to Siobhán McKenna inviting her to speak to the Society on the topic of her choice if she was inclined to do so. Ends by wishing her every success in the States (11 Jan 1955). Also letter from Sean Tóibín, Tramway Gardens, Cork to Siobhán McKenna, saying what a wonderful job she did with St. Joan. He comments that The Robe should also be translated into Irish, and forwards a copy of his radio script "Fallainc 6 Gholgata" to see if she would be interested in producing it [in Irish] (27 Apr 1955). Also letter from Guy Bolton, Remsenburg, Long Island, to Siobhan McKenna, saying that he understands that her time is taken up with things theatrical at the moment, but wonders if she is free for the role in Anastasia which Michael Powell is hoping to put in on in London. Comments that there are a few other possibilities, but that he would be keen if she were available for the part ([1955]). Also letter from Kathleen McGovern of the Gaelic Society, New York, to Siobhán McKenna saying that they are following her progress in the newspapers, inviting her to a meeting with soda bread "baked by a real Irish cook" (16 Sept 1955).
