Sir — I don't think I have ever read a more spurious self-aggrandising puff than Christopher Gray's coverage of the 70th anniversary celebrations of the Oxford Playhouse, and its history written by Don Chapman (Weekend, October 24).
Why should he — or his editor — imagine that his readers would be interested in his tenuous links with the theatre's founder, filling two thirds of the page (including a second photo of him right under the first) rather than details of the actual event and the subject it was celebrating?
I'm sure lots of us won prizes at school and even acted in plays 'to great acclaim' without feeling the need to bore everyone with the details years later.
