CORRESPONDENCE

Scope and Content of Series

SERIES 2) CORRESPONDENCE: Includes individual files and collected correspondence containing letters exchanged by Schneider and his theater colleagues. Absent from the collection is original correspondence between Schneider and Samuel Beckett, though there is a small amount of photocopied letters exchanged between them. The Beckett correspondence file contains copies of the letter of condolence written at the time of Schneider's father's death and the last letter Schneider wrote to Beckett. A small amount of correspondence (photocopied) from Beckett is filed with Grove Press correspondence, and in the Production files for Film (1964). Correspondence relating to specific productions may also be filed in the PRODUCTIONS series.

A) General: Individual correspondence arranged alphabetically. Noteworthy correspondents include: Edward Albee, 1961-1964; Robert Anderson, 1956-1967; Hume Cronyn, 1970-1984; Zelda Fichandler, 1952-1959 (photocopies); John Gielgud, 1966-1971; William Saroyan, 1941 (photocopies); and Tennessee Williams, 1952.

B) Collected Correspondence: Includes scrapbooks of letters assembled by Schneider, including notes and letters from Harold Clurman, Edith Evans, Henry Fonda, Eva Gabor, John Gielgud, George Grizzard, Elia Kazan, Joshua Logan, Lawrence Olivier, Geraldine Page, Harold Pinter, Rod Steiger, Peter Ustinov, and Tennessee Williams. This subseries also contains letters of congratulations and thanks collected by Schneider and a file of letters of condolence written at Schneider's death. One such letter, from Harold Pinter, is of special interest.
