For the context of the letter see Pamela M. King's 2007 paper 'Twentieth-Century Medieval-Drama Revivals and the Universities', which states that at the time of the writing, there was in Canterbury 'to be a new play by Robert Gittings about St Alphege and the Danish invasion entitled Makers of Violence', and that at the Pilgrim Players in Norwich planned to put on, at the church of St Peter Mancroft, a production of Fry's 'Sleep of Prisoners'. 2pp, 8vo. In fair condition, lightly aged, with a little light damp spotting. Folded once. Begins: 'Dear Kit, I have just sent Fitzgerald the proof of my article, which I have gone through with some care, and which he is putting in the July World Review.' He hopes that the article will 'add right it has to prevent anyone 'printing any more unauthorised comments about you.' He is also enclosing 'the draft of what I have written for Canterbury', which is to be discussed 'at Bob's lunch on Tuesday'. He does not know whether it has been accepted, but has already 'warned Laurence Irving about its contents'. He is meeting Fry's 'translator, Feist, at Portsmouth for about an hour this afternoon [] He keeps suggesting I should go all over England to meet him, and I still can't quite understand why he wants to see me. He says (among many other things) that as he has been exclusively translating your plays, he feels it might be a betrayal to translate mine.' He will give Feist 'a copy of The Makers since he wants to see my work. He also wants me to wear a real rose in my buttonhole, but roses don't grow here. I think I shall try a rhododendron on him. Garden Gods is an idea. Is Gods and Men one? [he quotes a couplet from Shelley] I must get on with it. There's the [?] book looming up for Heinemann too.' He asks Fry if he is sure he should look up 'John Guest', whom he would 'very much like to see'. He concludes with reference to the play by Fry which will become 'The Dark is Light Enough', lamenting that he does not know 'how to write plays and even think of their titles for other people. Isn't it awful? I wish the exact plot of your play were plainer to me. Would a very plain title like Revolution 1848 (on the lines of Amphitryon) be any good, I wonder? The word Revolution has a nice sound and plenty of meanings.'.

Unpaginated stapled pamphlet of 24pp, small 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with slight damage at head of spine. On the second page: 'The arrangement of this Programme has been the work of the Rev. Hugh Ross Williamson.' Programme for the day on front cover, including a talk by 'Mr Robert Speight: "Touring in Canada with Murder in the Cathedral"'. The final event, at 7pm in the Chapter House, is a performance entitled 'The Drama of our Festival years', and the text of this piece makes up 21pp of the pamphlet. This begins with these words, recited by the Archbishop of Canterbury [Geoffrey Fisher (1887-1972)]: 'The Drama of our Festival years. First, that we may remember the makers who have made these plays for us, the latest of them, Robert Gittings, will recite the tribute he has composed to those who went before him the other writers of the Canterbury Plays.' This is followed by a poetic prologue by Gittings, titled 'The Word', the twelve-lines stanzas of which are titled in the margins: Laurence Binyon, T. S. Eliot, Charles Williams, Dorothy L. Sayers, Christopher Hassall, Laurie Lee, Christopher Fry, 'The bringers of gifts in their kind', 'The betrayers of the word in modern life', 'The witness of the Word at Canterbury'. There follow long extracts from Canterbury Plays by Binyon, Eliot, Fry, Gittings, Hassall and Dorothy L. Sayers, with a final page carrying the text of a poem by John Masefield, beneath the text: 'All present are asked to join in singing the following hymn by the Poet Laureate to music written by the late Gustav Holst.'
