| Content and context |
Wrote to Myers asking for a firm financial commitment (Sherek and Myers had agreed on £8000). Sherek cannot go ahead with the play without it. Margaret Johnson will be available, and they can have the Duke of York's theatre following the play "Point of Departure". Sherek approves of Banbury, but not Tynan. Horden is already engaged, and they don't know Hardy. Evans agrees it is time they made a formal deal with Aldrich and Myers. In London, Linnit and Dunfee want to produce Anouilh's play Ardele, with Fay Compton as the Countess and Peter Ashmore as the director. Evans wishes he could see Beaton's Swan Lake. |
