- 2 sound discs (approximately one hour and four minutes): digital; 4 3/4 in.
- Summary
- Disc 1 (approximately 32 minutes). [Begins abruptly.] Antony Tudor speaks with David Raher about Tudor's work Cross-gartered; his work Romeo and Juliet including his choice of [Frederick] Delius's music; his work Lysistrata [;or The strike of wives]; briefly, his work Shadowplay; his work Pillar of fire [at this point, approximately 19 minutes into the recording, the sound quality deteriorates significantly]; his thoughts on Martha Graham and her work; his work Shadow of the wind; adapting plays for ballet plots.
- Disc 2 (approximately 32 minutes). [The sound quality of this disc is very poor.] Antony Tudor and David Raher continue to speak about using a play as the basis for a ballet plot with reference to Frederick Ashton's works; the choreographer's responsibility to the audience; more on ballets based on plays including by Frederico Garcia Lorca; Robert Helpmann's Hamlet; [Leonide] Massine's use of plays as source material; José Limón's A moor's pavane; Benesh system of dance notation.

- Note
- The sound quality ranges from fair (on disc 1, for the first 19 minutes) to very poor (the rest of disc 1 and all of disc 2) . There is a continual extraneous hiss, which increases in volume at approximately 19 minutes into disc 1 with the result that, from this point on, the speakers' voices are very difficult to understand if intelligible at all.
- Interview with Antony Tudor conducted by David Raher in August, 1973 in Brooklyn, New York.
