My dear ones, I propose a break from all this talk of violence and regulation and riots. Surely discussion must go on, but I prefer to turn my attention toward more enriching exploits. In my spare time I have been reading a number of books in the library, some containing plays and others in the progression of dramatic technique since my passing. I am most intrigued and now have it in my head to put that stage in the dining hall to proper use -- with permission from the Wardens, of course.

I, of course, will direct, and look to my fair neighbors here to find a suitable cast and crew.

But what play to choose? Something with a little grit and guts, I think. Well-versed though I am in the older traditions, it is nice to see that theatre takes more chances in later times. It will be unusual to see a production that is not comprised of rhyming couplets.

Miss Bennet has suggested one play written by him. The Glass Menagerie, I believe. Are there any others you would recommend?
