Chere Maitre by Peter Eyre

"After Sand's spirited defence of Flaubert's novel Salammbo in 1863, the two writers became friends. Both were excited by the attentions of the other, despite their difference in age, and their affection developed into eager and frequent correspondence. So began not a love affair, but a deep friendship and one of the great epistolary masterpieces of modern times. Chere Maitre was first performed at Sharon Stage, Connecticut and later in New York , in London and at the Melbourne Arts Festival with Peter Eyre and Irene Worth. It was broadcast on Radio 4 as Dear Master."
Peter Eyre translated Siblings with Tania Alexander by Klaus Mann, which was perormed at the Lyric Hammersmith. He has contributed journalism to The Spectator, Vanity Fair, Vogue and Harpers and Queen.
