[introduction]
During the past year, the Auckland Peoples' Theatre has produced Clifford Odet's two plays, "Waiting for 'Lefty'", "and "Till the Day I Die." to an audience of 2,000 members.
The success of these productions indicates the possibilities which the future holds for a strong and virile"drama in our country. Such a development is dependent upon two factors."Firstly, the discovery and encouragement of writers of plays as vital as the two mentioned above, but dealing with our own problems and outlook; and secondly, the training of earnest and truthful actors to give life to such plays.
