The National Theatre, South Bank, London, S.E.1. - Has heard that John Dexter has written to Michael Birkett that PS is angry about 'Equus' not going on next spring and that he is convinced that 'to present a play at the National is to cut down its performance life'; asks him to pick up the phone or to write, as their relationship is important, and hopes that he could see that in future it will be possible to run new plays for long runs.

The National Theatre - PS will have received Michael Birkett's letter about 'Equus', is sorry about not being able to bring it back, hopes he will write a one-act play so that he is represented in their opening season, encourages another full-length as well; is 'becoming daily more excited at the prospect of really using our new theatres here'.
