Sir – I am disappointed that Christopher Gray’s review of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the New Theatre (Weekend, June 17) makes no mention of local boy, Steve Kirwan, who starred in the leading role in the matinée performance on Wednesday.

His performance was magnificent and richly deserves to be celebrated in his home town. Steve attended Wheatley Park School and regularly performed in local venues before going on to drama school.
