She seems quite satisfied. She tells me that the actors you sent down are perfectly suited to their parts, and very nice people to work with. I understand she had some difficulties at the first rehearsals with the gentleman you call the producer, because he hadnt read the play; but the moment he found out what it was all about everything went smoothly. (SAVOYARD: Havnt you seen the rehearsals?) Oh no. I havnt been allowed even to meet any of the company. All I can tell you is that the hero is a Frenchman (Savoyard is rather scandalized): I asked her not to have an English hero. That is all I know. (Ruefully) I havnt been consulted even about the costumes, though there, I think, I could have been some use. (SAVOYARD: But there arnt any costumes.) (seriously shocked) What! No costumes! Do you mean to say it is a modern play?
