NOTICE FROM CONCORD THEATRICALS AMATEUR LICENSING. 'The agents for the Pinter Estate are protective of what works they will permit to be presented on the same bill as works by Harold Pinter and are only amenable to his plays being billed with another play by him, or a play by Samuel Beckett, reflective of an arrangement the two writers had during their lifetimes. The same is applicable for plays by Beckett.'
