Joan Littlewood

4 Extra Debut. Actor Victor Spinetti chooses director Joan Littlewood who set him on the road to Broadway. With Matthew Parris. From 2007.

Victor Spinetti was working as a comedian in a strip-club when Joan Littlewood invited him to join her 'Theatre Workshop'.

It was this which set him on the road to Broadway.

He tells Matthew Parris about the joys of working with a great director (who hated to be called a director) and how she cured his 'apologetic feet'.

Other parts of Joan's story are supplied by theatre-historian Nadine Holdsworth.
