This was the hit play in London a couple of years ago Its a two man show set in Ireland and one of the sketches involves an actor(or extra) as the last man alive who was at the making of the Quiet Man and this caused confusion in my circles as my friends were asking me who he was. And as I hadn't seen the play or read anything about until later . I didn't have a clue what they were talking about.

Other attractions in London included in the EMPIRE Magazine for February 2004 are the following film fairs_

Nearer Home
Saturday 21st February Electric Ball Room Camden 10-4-30 admission £2.00
I have been to the Camden fair and also the Westminster fair (when that is held)on a number of occasons. They used to be very good and quite cheap with a number of John Wayne pictures, books and posters many at very reasonable prices. But now the belgians have moved in with foreign posters and the prices have jumped astonomically.
With regard to Ingrid Pitt I saw her at one of the fairs a couple of years ago. She was selling pictures of herself in the bath from one of the Vampire pictures. Whatever turns you on but Looking at her she seemed to have not been well served by time.
Incidentally I read an aticle by her in one of my magazines which now I can't find of an encounter with John Wayne when they played cards. This seems difficult to believe as she never appeared in a film with the Duke. I wish I could find the article.
Regards
Arthur
