E15 needs a season of plays. Read a Vanbrugh and Genet, neither suitable. Gerry plays me a tape, Songs of the First World War. He wants them used in a play. Two writers have already tried and failed, a third is working on it. Jacques Tati attends private showing of Sparrers, offers me use of his studios at Charenton. A backer gives me the go-ahead on needed pick-up shots. The third writer reads his play to us. There are no songs in it. I could do better myself. Next day, I dictate a first draft to Gerry. Say I can re-cut film and work on the play at the same time.
