To Barney Rosset, 6 April 1957: "I sneaked away from London before the premiere. The dress rehearsal on the Monday, which I saw, and the gala on the Tuesday, which I did not, were not very satisfactory. But I am told the premiere went much better. It is an appallingly difficult text to play, and to find the style of, and the tone or tones for." -The Letters of Samuel Beckett: 1957-1965, p. 40
