23-27 Oct [] _BLACK MARIA_ 'ballet+film+electronic music' by Green Box
Productions at the Lilian-Baylis Theatre, Sadler's Wells, Islington,
London EC1R. Based on the novel by Diana Wynne Jones, who is `supposed
to be there after the matinee on the 24th to answer questions, argue with
the composer and sign books, and again in the evening. (I think it is all
going swimmingly. That is to say, my agent and the Rod Hall Agency are
currently in acerbic argument with Green Box about rights. Also the
company claim that the book is out of print and HarperCollins say it
isn't. And the choreographer wants me to obtain 20 copies for the cast
whether the book exists or not. As I say, all go).'
