Scope and content

The majority of material in these files consists of unsolicited ideas for subjects, scenarios or music that the correspondents suggest Kenneth MacMillan might be interested to create ballets on. Some correspondence is from established figures in the field of theatre and music, others people unknown to Kenneth MacMillan. The material is divided into 11 files, the first contains brief correspondence arranged in alphabetical order of surname; where there are files for individuals, this reflects the amount of material rather than offering a value judgement on the person or concept
