short plays based on Ancient Egypt and the early history of Ireland. He
co-founded the Cambridge Festival Theatre in 1926 and followed the
inspiration of Gordon Craig. Actors there included Maurice Evans, Robert
Donat, Flora Robson and Jessica Tandy. Ninette de Valois (Grayıs cousin)
began her career there. In 1933 Grayıs interest in the theatre ended and he
moved to France, to become Wei Wu Wei and he wrote eight books in his own
style of Zen Buddhism.
