Phil Smart: For some reason I don't seem to have much in the way of artefacts or photos relating to this play although they probably exist, just waiting to be found. The above notes about the music that accompanied the play are quite interesting; difficult to read but we have Bartok, Clockwork Orange (the film had come out the previous year with music by Walter Carlos, later to become "Wendy" Carlos), East of Eden and Dr Zhivago. I can't be certain whose handwriting this is but I suspect the hand of Geoff Dean.
