I’d love to sign up for a personal tour or rally some local friends around a visit…Any hope?
Many thanks in any case for your fascinating blog where I’m happy to wander, when not wandering around Spitalfields itself which I’m proud to call home.

The tour was more basic back then, with myself as researcher and Stage Manager (carrying props around in a car) and a handful of actors who popped up at various places to act out scenes. It showed great promise right from the start and I’m glad it’s still going strong.

Many thanks for a wonderfully entertaining (and sometimes very moving…) blog

This latest post has me wishing I could book a plane ticket for Blighty right now! Alan sounds like a fascinating character, and this tour seems just the thing for those who prefer their history with a generous sprinkle of irreverent humour.
