Scope and content

Says they had Ray's play down for revival during the previous month but had so much new work to get through that they were not able to do it. Says Allgood and O’Donovan will be gone for most of March so unless they come back the last week they won’t be able to do it until autumn. Says he liked the new ending of the play (Martin Whelan) but that Brophy hadn’t made Whelan and the girl’s conversations human enough yet. Says he thought of asking him to try again but thought that in rehearsal he could alter some things. Mentions he is glad to hear that Brophy has a new play. 1911 is written in pencil in the top right-hand corner. Ray’s name appears in the letterhead for the first time. This is the first typed letter to Ray on Abbey letterhead.
