Where\nwould we write for further information which\nwe would require.\n\nI don't expect you know our theatre, but 1\nthink I can modestly say that we are the\nmost important theatre in the North of Ireland,\nand it is our policy to do a wide range of work.\n\nI hope you don't mind my writing to you, and would\nbe most grateful for your co-operation, I enclose\na SAE for reply.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(John Boyd)\nLiterary Advisor,\nTHE LYRIC PLAYERS THEATRE\n\nP.S. We recieve an annual subvention from the Arts\nCouncil, Norther Ireland,\n","Type":"Text"}}]
