POET—AND MURDERER
Sir,-Under this engaging caption you have announced an NZBS play by a Mr Gore-Browne. The title of the play is Poet’s Progress. Now the NZBS players are adept, one knows, at lifting every known accent from every known nation (except New Zealand). But from this country they have now lifted a living author’s title. Poet’s Progress is a book by W. D’Arcy Cresswell, and its use for another context is dubious.
DENIS
GLOVER
(Wellington).
(The play was produced from a BBC script, and its title was supplied by the author, an Englishman who has probably not heard of Mr Cresswell.-Ed.)
