.@IanMcKellen, @stephenfry and @AlecBaldwin are among those backing a fundraising campaign for a statue of playwright Joe Orton in his hometown of Leicester https://t.co/kBopU0RDU4

“The idea that in Orton Square there should be a statue, a memorial to Joe Orton, is terrific,” McKellan said. https://t.co/e1Hdr1J37K

Yesterday actor Kenneth Cranham launched the @JoeOrtonStatue appeal. Beforehand, he visited the Joe Orton archive @UoLDWL & found a 1975 pic of himself in Entertaining Mr Sloane w. #BerylReid that he’d never seen before. #tickledpink #FriendofJoe

I saw another boy suitable for Sloane. His name is Barry Evans...I wanted him to play Hal in Loot (6/2/67).

The wonderful @McDowellMalc makes a great Sloane alongside the inimitable Beryl Reid in 1975.
