Summary: Longer Beard Recommended (Press, 22 July 1981)

On 19 July 1981, R. H. Denton wrote a letter expressing disdain for a recent broadcast by A. K. Grant on 3YA, which critiqued the taste of the Governor-General and highlighted the distaste of Patricia Bartlett. Denton found Grant's comments to be a mere build-up to a personal announcement about his own artistic project, which Denton described as a "passion play" featuring Grant performing nude. Denton conveyed concern for the audience that would witness this performance, wishing that Grant would allow his beard to grow substantially before the event, regardless of the artistic justification linked to the character of Apollo. He concluded with the remark that the nature of performance, like rugby, can vary significantly, suggesting a certain levity in the situation.
