AUDEN PROPOSES CHANGES TO "THE DOG BENEATH THE SKIN" BECAUSE OF THE POLITICAL SITUATION
AUDEN
(W. H., 1907-1973, British born American Poet)
Fine Typed Letter Signed to Mr Anmer Hall
(the Owner of the Westminster Theatre) explaining that "owing to recent events I quite understand that the Ostnia palace scene, as it stands, might give offence, which was - of course - certainly not intended. At the same time I feel very strongly that the complete omission of the scene would seriously upset the balance of the whole play. What I should like to do ... is to turn the whole scene into an Eastern scene, something after the style of the Arabian Nights. For example, the two chief characters would be a Sultan and a Sultana. I enclose a complete list of cuts and alterations. I hope very much that you will agree with me about the possibility of acting the scene in this manner ..." and thanking him "on behalf of both myself and Mr Isherwood for all the patience and forbearance you have shown over this play ...", 1 side 4to., Westminster Theatre headed paper, 30th January
