Scope and content
Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Is getting on well with Ariadne's love solo in act 5 [of "The Bride of Dionysus"]; discusses Ariadne's reaction to the sound of the Satyr's pan-pipes. Currently thinking about the scene where the doors of the labyrinth close: asks if both of Theseus' speeches, both mocking Minos and pitying him, could be included; suggests moving some lines of Ariadne's from the love-duet with Theseus.
