-
In the 1970s Jim Sharman rediscovered and produced some of Patrick White's early plays. Patrick then wrote a new play Big toys which premiered at the Parade Theatre, Kensington in 1977 and starred Kate Fitzpatrick, Arthur Dignam and Max Cullen. The play's set designer Brian Thomson had discovered a letter that Patrick White had written to Father Christmas when he was six years old with a list of requests. Brian had purchased these gifts and presented them to Patrick as an opening night present. Patrick was delighted with the gifts and allowed himself to be decked out with Christmas decorations for the occasion.
