Some sundry correspondence and a VAT invoice (which must have baffled Mike Ward) with The Actor’s Workshop in late 1994, while I was registered for VAT in my own name in order to get Z/Yen started.
I sent Mike stuff for his New Year Revels shows for several years, sometimes wrote material to order (from memory, not that year) and occasionally attended with Janie.
No need to redact the address for this correspondence – the premises was fire-bombed in 2001, soon after Casablanca The Musical brought the house down – another story.
Apologies for the rogue apostrophes in the correspondence below – I was young and foolish back then.
