Peter Greenaway and Tom Phillips hope to be present at these screenings." Phillips writes after the showing at the Tate, "Cantos I -VII plus Canto VIII without M&E track. approx 70 people inc. Peter Blake and John Furnival. I take questions afterwards." Phillips writes about the ICA showing, "Cantos I-VII. Two showings each to full house. I answer questions afterwards."
