Abstract
‘For all the world like a carpenter’s shop without the shavings!’ was my first impression when I ducked my head and raised my foot and caught the hem of my dress in the heel of my shoe getting through the small door in the big gate of the scene-dock of the Abbey Theatre; and there I was ‘behind the scenes’ and with only the flimsiest excuse for being there!
Irish Press (Dublin), 22 Mar 1938, p. 8.
