George Sewell and Howard Goorney RIP
April 17, 2007
Two members of Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop (late of Stratford East) died in the last two weeks. Better known to most readers is George Sewell, a television favourite as cop and tough guy in Special Branch, Get Carter, Z-Cars and a host more. But Howard Goorney was arguably more integral to the company, as he became one of Theatre Workshop’s most familiar faces on stage and a stalwart worker behind the scenes as secretary and manager.
