To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sub-title, ‘A Play for Actors and Orchestra’, hardly indicates the extent to which the effectiveness of the whole depends on the music composed by André Previn. And it is to him that the work owes its existence. As the principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, Mr Previn invited me in 1974 to write, something which had the need of a live full-size orchestra on stage. Invitations don’t come much rarer than that, and I jumped at the chance. It turned out to be the fastest move I mad...e on the project for the next eighteen months. Usually, and preferably, a play originates in the author’s wish to write about some particular thing. The form of the play then follows from the requirements of the subject. This time I found myself trying to make the subject follow from the requirements of the form. Mr Previn and I agreed early on that we would try to go beyond a mere recitation for the concert platform, and also that we were not writing a piece for singers. In short, it was going to be a real play, to be performed in conjunction with, and bound up with, a symphony orchestra.
