Stuk 92 - Letter from Gabriel Toyne to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

The Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Station Street. - Thanks Trevelyan for his last letter; agrees that it is best for them to meet as soon as possible and 'fix things definitively' if they can; 'anxiously' awaits the MS [of Trevelyan's translation of Aeschylus' "Prometheus"]. Had written to Mr [Terence] Gray saying he hoped he might be able to join his company [Cambridge Festival Theatre] for the Easter season; asks if Trevelyan knows whether this is on offer if Toyne plays Prometheus. This does not 'compromise the situation' at all in relation to playing the part, but he wants to be able to give his current employers 'full notice'. Asks when the first rehearsals will be. Is probably going to London next Sunday, and would be 'honoured' if Trevelyan would lunch with him at his club, the Authors' Club, at 2 Whitehall Court; asks him to let him know by return if he can. Asks Trevelyan to forgive the 'haste & meandering' of this letter, which has been written during rehearsals.
