Theatre People
HE Women’s Séssion ftom 2YA on May 5 turned out to be a perféctly integrated projjamme-balf an hour solidly devoted to Theatre. The Listener had prepared us for the two major items; Beatrice Ashton’s vionthly talk oh plays and players, and John Cassoti’s fourth talk in the series A Professional View of the Theatre. Sandwiched between them was the surprise item, an interview on their home ground with members of the New Zealand Players, notably Raymond Boyce, the designer, and rs. Marchant; the wardrobe mistress. Its revelation of the meticulous search for accuracy in costume detail ard design for Elizabethan corsets, stéel for Victotian) was something of a shock to me. Anyway, it left me suitably
awed and humbly receptive to John Casson’s stern, if chummily expressed, views on The Duties of the Audience.
