East 15 at Sixty. The first two years. Philip Hedley.

The History of Actor Training in the British Drama School.

In which we discuss how Philip Hedley came to join the first cohort of East 15 Acting School in the autumn of 1961 and examine something of the complex relationship between the school, it’s founder Maggie Bury and the work of Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop.
The cover shows the blue plaque which celebrates Margaret Bury and Joan Littlewood outside of East 15’s Loughton campus.
