THEATRE CENSORSHIP

SIR,—The Theatre Workshop Defence Fund, for which an appeal recently appeared in your correspon- dence columns, now exceeds the expenses incurred in the defence of Theatre Workshop in court. This is due to the generosity of the two defence counsel, Mr. Gerald Gardiner, QC, and Mr. Harold Lever, MP, in pleading without fee. It is proposed to divide the resi- due of this fund, after payment of such costs as there were, fifty-fifty between the general purposes of Theatre Workshop and a new fund, now being set up, with the self-explanatory title of Censorship Reform. But any subscriber who would rather have his money back should write to me at this address, and he will be refunded a sum proportionate to the residue.—
