ABSTRACT

Directed by Gerald Freedman, within days the play began to take shape and with such ease it would seem to be magic, until one realised it is only necessary to listen - the words will tell you what to do. And they will keep on telling you, refreshing your mind as you reach out from day to day. Gerry made this clear not by speaking of it but 'by letting it happen'. Each day we would run through scenes or run through the whole with a few precise and simple notes at the end. And so we grew with the life, the vitality, of this wonderful play, with its powerful parallel today.
