Peter
Gill and I were already old friends, both working at
the Royal Court and both entirely involved in the place.
Peter had just directed his D. H. Lawrence trilogy,
and I’d just been given the job of opening and
running what was to become the Court’s studio
space: the Theatre Upstairs. This was to be sited at
the top of the building in an old rehearsal-room, which
had later been run by Clement Freud as the kind of night-club
you see in 1950’s movies. The ceiling was low
and oppressive, but the roof, when you looked at it
from the outside, peaked up much higher.
