Without the tireless efforts of Edward Acton and Michael Sanderson this project would have amounted to little more than the ramblings of a barely literate young man with holes in his shoes. I cannot think of two people more gracious, encouraging and inspirational.
For planting the seed of inspiration, thanks to Tim Robbins and his wonderful film, Cradle will Rock. Thanks must go also to Rob Newman for showing me the way with his brilliant show From Caliban to the Taliban and, more personally, for providing me with an initial bibliography.
I’m grateful also to my comrades on the fourth floor, Andy, Geoff, Larry and Roger, for their time, help and confidence. Thank you Tim, I owe you much, not least for those inspiring office football chats. I must also salute Veronica for teaching me Russian. A big thumbs up to Robbie; thanks for all the tea. Last but not least, my love and gratitude to all those at 106 (and its regular guests including, of course, Bessie).
