Theatrical limbo

From Caroline Bowder

Sir, - Peter Graystone's review of my play Conversations with Mary (Arts, 11 April) invites a response. Many were touched by the play, and it had a four-star review in The Irish World. Mr Graystone incorrectly refers to the stillborn Tom as "an embryo in limbo", whereas he was nearly born; so he is certainly not an embryo.
