Scope and content

Copy of letter from John McGahern addressed to Brian (Friel?); the letter consists of an apology for a 'remark to Michael Cologan' relating to the decision of the Field Day theatre not to produce 'The Power of Darkness' ; McGahern writes 'I never took the rejection of the play in any way personally. I knew the play wasn't political. I also know that plays by ageing novelists are, historically, a disaster zone.'
