Sir, - I am anxious to contact the present copyright holder of the late Louis D'Alton's plays. I represent an amateur drama group hoping to stage one of his plays later this year. D'Alton plays are still under copyright so a performing licence is required. I have made many inquiries through the relevant bodies exercising performing rights permission but I have failed to find any D'Alton play copyright holder. I am most anxious to contact any member of the D'Alton family who may be able to assist me in my quest. - Yours, etc.,
M.J. Kearns, Director, Dublin Drama Festival, 24 Caragh Road, Dublin 7. Tel: 8388676.
