Scope and content

File of letters between Kenneth Darwin of the Board of Trustees and Pearse and Mary O'Malley in relation to the proposals to play the national anthem at Lyric productions. Includes a letter explaining his actions at a recent meeting: 'I would like the trustees to have a policy which is artistically sound as well as being unpolitical so that we could all get on with the job of making a success of the new theatre' (19 October). Also includes a letter detailing his reaction to their resignation from the Board over this issue: 'No indication was given...that either of you would consider the playing of the Anthem on 28 Oct as a resigning issue.
