THE GROUP THEATRE

[To the Editor of TIIE SPECTATOR.] Silo—Our attention has been called to a comment made by your reviewer, Mr. I. M. Parsons, on the recent production at Canterbury of Mr. T. S. Eliot's new play Murder in The Cathedral, which refers obliquely to the Group Theatre and to Mr. Rupert Doone, one of its directors. Without associating ourselves with Mr. Parsons' criticism, we should like to make it clear that neither the Group Theatre nor Mr. Doone person- ally was connected in any way with the Canterbury production of Mr. Eliot's play.—Yours faithfully,

ORMEROD GREENWOOD, Organizer, the Group Theatre.
