Yesterday actor Kenneth Cranham launched the Joe Orton Statue Appeal appeal. Beforehand, he visited the Joe Orton archive Library & Learning Services & found a 1975 pic of himself in Entertaining Mr Sloane w. #BerylReid that he’d never seen before. #tickledpink #FriendofJoe

“The idea that in Orton Square there should be a statue, a memorial to Joe Orton, is terrific,” McKellan said. pinknews.co.uk/2019/07/25/ian…
