Résumé:

"In the year when she would have been a hundred, which includes three revivals and a commemorative stamp, Peter Rankin, who worked with Joan for 38 years and in whose flat she died, takes the papers she left him and goes back to the beginning. As she told him: "You know me better than I know myself." Drawing on Littlewood's personal archive, 'Joan Littlewood: Dreams and Realities' observes at close hand one of the most influential theatre makers of the twentieth century." -- Back cover.
