"You want some information on Sam Bate, playwright. He was a friend of my now deceased parents for many years so I know a little. He lived in Illogan, Portreath Cornwall, and I would imagine the dates you mention are incorrect as he was born after 1919 (he was younger than my father), perhaps in the late nineteen twenties, and he died in the early nineteen eighties. He had two wives, his last one was Mavis and she may still be alive as she was almost half his age, I believe. He was an agent for French's Plays, and had a huge library of plays in his house. He was dedicated to writing plays for women as amateur theatrical groups comprised mostly of women, and he wanted to capture the right gender ratio. I hope you find more information, perhaps from Cornwall. He was a lovely man, very approachable even for me, as a child at the time." - Elisabeth Shatwell
