Sir, –The Abbey Theatre's imminent first major revival of Sive in more than 20 years is greatly awaited. The handout for the production states that this – John B Keane's first play (1959) – was "famously" rejected by the Abbey Theatre. Akin to the institution's pedantic spurning of Peter O'Toole in 1952, should the promo not read "notoriously"? – Yours, etc,
