Notes

  1. According to Supple, this account consists of "edited excerpts" from Doors Open. The Clove Club Newsletter is edited by G. L. ("Willie") Watkins, who also edited 'Fortune's Fool': A Life of Joe Brearley: The Man Who Taught Harold Pinter (Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Eng.: TwigBooks, 2008). Brearley taught English literature and directed school theatre productions at Hackney Downs School, which both Supple and Pinter attended from 1942 to 1949 and 1948, respectively; in this memoir Supple recalls Pinter's performance as Romeo in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet , as directed by Brearley, in which Supple played Mercutio, and Brearley's influence on Pinter and other students.
