Art But Insult
to
It is a play which savagos, tears you open, stamps on you, spits on you. You leave the theatre wanting only retch, or swiftly, cleanly, kill yourself, to dissociate your self from the disgusting excrescence of evolution we call humanity,
It is no art, this brillant new play of Tennemer Williams and his Famous Cockrouches.
It is an effusion by a writer
of terrifying talent describing what everyone knows so well, so intimately, already why Mr Williams finds life unbearable.
He contually destroys is of true passion by moments mes, derisive jokes, Just as he rasts aside the illusion of reality by vagaries into fantasy.

In 1943, John Sutherland of Vancouver, received a telegram. I told him that his ison Wilfred had been shot down over Holland, and was presumed killed, Five years later the lonely father was villing London, when He saw a man near the clock on King's Cross station.
“It was my son," he says, " was only 8 ft. away but I was paralysed at the sight of him. Then he moved away vanished,"
and

Every year since then John Sutherland, has come back to London on a lonely pilgrimage,

CHRIST'S DEATH IN MODERN NEWS STYLE
The editorial committee of the semi-official church newspaper Birmingham Christian News believed that too many people could. never think of Christ as a living person. So this week they used shock tactics to ram home their point-and it looks as if they may have stirred up {LT? ecclesiastical hornets' nest in the
process.
For when readers of the newspaper got this month's issue they found it had been transformed into facsimile of a mass circulation picture paper, And the lead story was-the Crucifixion.
The dateline on the story was Jerusalem, A.D. 29. The lead headline screamed "King". Dead." Below that, ""Thousands see 'Son Of God' carry cross to death at Golgotha."
The dispatch from correspondents "on the spot" included passages like this:
"Jesus's death followed a last minute drama in which Governor Pontius Pilate showed the Galilean religious leader to a Jerusalem crowd declaring: 'You're executing an innocent man-I want no part in your action."
"An Embarrassment"
A word profile of Christ described him as "an embarrassment to religious leaders and a threat to internal security."
A late dispatch hinted at the Resurrection: "Jerusalem today is a city of fantastic rumours. Just 72 hours after the Galilean leader was buried, reports are rampant that he has been seen alive."
As the Birmingham Christian News hit the streets, its editor, the Reverend Nicolas Stacey. Chaplain to the Bishop of Birmingham, was not available for comment.
But his secretary said: "Mr Stacey and the editorial committee are aware that some church
