Content Summary: Beautiful. If Wills will complete it - he will put it in hand. How does he imagine the scene? Like the Doré illustrations of Elaine? He will play Tristan himself. He sends the Rienzi plot.
Published: -
Notes: The text of part of Wills' version of 'Iolanthe' adapted from 'King René's daughter' which was performed at the Lyceum on 20th May. Irving had also played Tristan in the earlier version in 1876. Gustave Doré published illustrations of Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King', in which Elaine appears, in 1867-68. Wills had asked for the return of his scenario for 'Rienzi', based on Bulwer Lytton's novel, on which he was also working. By courtesy of Bristol Record Office.
