teacher of drama
A mill girl at 14, at 20 a student at a theatre school in Bradford and a lecturer in educational drama at the age of 24, Dorothy Heathcote, housewife, is one of the most remarkable figures in English drama in recent years.
Today she works in Tyneside with a wide variety of young people, and at a hospital for the mentally subnormal. She knows that if she fails there are always 'three looms waiting' for her in the mill. She is unlikely to need them.
