To avoid any confusion, Laurence’s wife Brigitte is still German and looking forward to coming along on Sunday.

Another great post with fantastic photos. Although not directly brought up in the East End it runs through so much of their work, it just reaffirms to me what a special place the East End is. I’ve booked a ticket and look forward to seeing these quite literal entertainment legends talk.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, what a great story about Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran. I am sure they will provide an excellent program.

Loved the pic of Maurice’s mom with her two sisters. They look like a happy family. Also “Laurence’s parents, Bernard Marks and Lily Goldberg in the twenties” reminds me of the many photos my folks had taken at local beaches in those days– fully dressed in their Sunday best while sitting in the sand.

Terrific stories to listen to. I wish I could be there.

Re Maurice’s parents being at the Battle of Cable St, what an amazing and pivotal moment in British history. Mind you, if some blackshirts got on a tram I was on, . I too would run for my life!
