TWELFTH NIGHT
Sir, —I wonder if Christchurch is capable of shame. If it is, now is the time to repent: we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and there is no health' in us. Ngaio Marsh has brought an extraordinarily talented groups of actors, who have brought to life for us the magic of one of Shakespeare’s finest comedies. Miss Marsh has not lost her sure touch; Miss Lenihan is even more skilled than when she left us; Mr Henson is quite the actor we were told he is—and the whole performance is a delight to eye and ear. Yet Christchurch, for alj the vaunted elevation of its brow, just hasn’t gone to see the play. It seems that we have finally given way to the pressure of the age. and won’t support anything which isn’t pushed daily by the organised insincerity of the commercial .radio stations,—Yours, etc.. J.F.B. September 2, 1951.
