Summary: | On opening night of
The Threepenny Opera
at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre, director Richard Foreman sent Elizabeth Wilson a note:
4-30-76
Dear Elizabeth,
You have beautifully redeemed Mrs. Peachum from the stock company character she's usually been & I thank you for your talent (which you can't help having) & your dedication to the show and my efforts: we come from different worlds but I feel we are together.
Love
Richard
