Scope and content

First page of a letter addressed to John McGahern, from (Tom Kilroy?), 'Kilmaine'; the letter relates to the staging of 'The Power of Darkness' , the sender writes 'The real theatrical problem, it seems to me, is how to set up this material and how to end it for the kind of theatre which we have today.' The writer also asks 'does this material need "translation" for a contemporary audience? You know this world has a palpable existence. I know it does. But what form should it be presented in?'.
