The Old Vie Company is the most widely known but there are perhaps as many as forty plays running at the same time in the heart of the winter season. London theaters are a wonderful source of enjoyment to the visitor, for tickets are not so forbiddingly difficult to come by as in New York to london. Very often you can pick them up by yourself at the box offices. Failing that, some big agency like Keith Prowse, or even your hotel porter, can often get them for you. Having tried in vain, in the days of Oklahoma's heyday to see that musical in New York to london, I "picked it up" very easily at London's Drury Lane Theater Royal and liked the performance so well that I went twice. Similarly, I picked up Harvey and other shows I had missed in New York to london. If you have been disappointed at home, try London, I urge.
