First draft - 1970. At time of writing this piece, John Herbert was burning his bridges in Canada behind him, fed up with the treatment his Garret Theatre Company had received from Toronto critics, including Nathan Cohen. N.C. had asked J.H. to concentrate on writing and to work with director, George Luscombe of Toronto Workshop Productions, a company Cohen's good reviews had helped to gain audience and arts council respect. J.H. informed N.C. that he had tried to work with G.L. for several months in 1963 and found the director's disrespect for writers made an impossible situation. J.H. suspected Cohen's criticism of the Garret designed to close the theatre. J.H. planned to move to England in 1971."
