This brought back many memories of Joan at Theatre Workshop Stratford, E15 when the company were were at their most vibrant I shall always remember seeinog Joan in her production of Lysistrata and again in Mother Courage, also the hilarious Good Soldier Schweik and The Threepenny Opera. Sunday evenings were reserved for marvellous concerts - Ballads and Blues - featuring Ewan McColl, Bert Lloyd, Seamus Ennis, sometimes Alan Lomax and many others. I used to treck by tube from north west London to the Theatre Royal Stratford, with its air of faded plush but once the curtain opened it was just magic!
