Sir, - I was indeed appropriately affected by Gerry Colgan's raw review of Choke My Heart ("Pure Hokum" June 19th) and although I earnestly enjoyed his unique use of antithetic alliteration, I must mar its motive. Red Kettle Theatre Company's production of my play was by no means a "fanciful failure". It was, rather, quite a serendipitous success. - Yours, etc., Celia McBride,
Waterford.
