Festival Theatre (Cambridge) Ltd, 36 Newmarket Road, Cambridge. (printed headed notepaper) - Gray thanks Trevelyan for his kindness in helping them 'financially and otherwise' with the "Prometheus"; although he may think 'we fell short of success', thinks 'the production marked a necessary step in evolving a method'. Realises Trevelyan was not as happy about the last production as he was about the last; can only guess about his views and does not know whether they agree on what was 'least successful'. Hopes Trevelyan will give him a 'carefully considered judgment' when he has 'had time to see the production in perspective and free from the criticism of individuals who may have felt strongly about points which were at variance with their set views'. Thinks Trevelyan tends to take the production as the 'simple thing it looked', and asks him to remember the 'weeks of thought and consideration of alternative methods"
