Description

Drama teacher Dorothy Heathcote is one of the most remarkable, buxom, rosy-cheeked figures in the English theatre today. A Yorkshire woman in her forties, she left school at fourteen and Went to work in a mill until at the age of twenty. She won a place at Esme Church’s theatre school near Bradford. Just four years later she was a lecturer in educational drama at the University of Newcastle, When Mrs.Heathcote decided to go into the theatre twenty years ago, it was the mill owner who paid her fees at the acting school, and told her there would be three looms waiting for her if she ever decided to go back. Watching her at work in Tyneside with a variety of young people from an approved school, a junior school and a hospital for the mentally subnormal, it is clear Dorothy Heathcote will never have to go back to those waiting looms.
