Scope and content
Was glad to get the message from Alan Tagg that Beaton was happy with the re-arrangements. The aim of the new stage is to minimise the necessity for scenery so that the design can be simple. Though he loved what Beaton did first, it seemed too complicated. Discusses the style of the play. Is not able to visit Beaton in Salisbury on Sunday. The television film they are shooting is proving hectic. Feels he must rest on Sunday before beginning the Mortimer play on Monday morning. Will be available any evening in London from next Monday.
