Having received the last of the money from Daddy and Joan’s estate, it seemed like a fitting tribute to them to spend it on theatre tickets.  I began with Noel Coward’s Private Lives, starring Patricia Hodge and Nigel Havers. Very witty, and well performed, but the treatment of domestic violence is rather uncomfortable for a 21st century audience.

It was good to wander around my old theatre-land haunts, and the lights in St Martin’s Lane were pretty.
