1960 program notes for Lilac Garden
David Adams and Lois Smith in Lilac Garden
David: "Anthony Tudor made an impression upon the National Ballet dancers through his ballets and his way of working with the dancers. He terrified so many of the dancers in the company through his very direct method of achieving the end product. The proof of his methods was proven through the countless performances of his ballets, especially Lilac Garden and Offenbach in the Underworld. The influence on the company by Tudor carried over in to other repertoire."
