to the End of the Night,” as we saw it at the Théâtre des Mathurins, remains a very fond and warm memory for me. You know that I am part of the TNP team. Therefore, any choice of play is subject to Jean Vilar’s approval. Could you perhaps convey your idea to him through Madame Vattier? I will certainly speak to him about it myself. We had already planned to prepare some classics for this winter. I don’t know what his ideas are now, as I haven’t seen him since the film I’m making. Thanking you for thinking of me, I remain, dear sir, with kind regards. Gérard Philippe.”
