Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 21 December 2006

Joan died at 87

• JOHN Gulliver’s article about Murray Melvin’s exhibition of Theatre Workshop photos at the National Theatre is welcome but may I, please, correct a couple of points.
Joan Littlewood was 87, not 88, when she died and it happened not in France but in Camden at my flat in Fitzjohn’s Avenue. I was talking to her at the time which prompted a friend of mine to say: “You must have been very boring then.”
PETER RANKIN
Fitzjohn’s Avenue, NW3
