Dear Mr. Stone, In The Guardian on Tuesday October 2nd you wrote a most interesting article on a new musical THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC, which had its world premiere at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. As THE TITANIC was a Belfast built ship we have have a particular interest in her fate. I was wondering could you give me some information about the musical: for instance, is there a libretto available yet? Where would we write for further information which we would require. I don't expect you know our theatre, but 1 think I can modestly say that we are the most important theatre in the North of Ireland, and it is our policy to do a wide range of work. I hope you don't mind my writing to you, and would be most grateful for your co-operation, I enclose a SAE for reply. Yours sincerely, (John Boyd) Literary Advisor, THE LYRIC PLAYERS THEATRE P.S.
