Scope and content
Wonders if 'Black Comedy' is destined to be the 'Hay Fever' of the 1970s, performed by every amateur company because comedy is "so much easier"; is busy but no [Hong Kong] flu yet; went to "Mame" with Jerry Lawrence and Jerry Herman, and hid his real opinion, avoiding people he knew in case they felt the same; has seen "Boys in the Band" ('cheap'), 'Delicate Balance' (splendid); and Tony [Richardson]'s 'Hamlet', Marianne [Faithfull] called him backstage during the interval because she had hurt her leg, the play intelligent with a young audience.
