In 1983 I engaged Philip Lowrie for a season of plays at Nottingham Playhouse. I knew something of his work in regional theatre but nothing of his time in Coronation Street; the stage seemed to be his natural home.
In his year spent at the Playhouse his wide variety of parts included James Morell in Shaw’s Candida, the Chaplain in Brecht’s Mother Courage with Miriam Karlin and, most notably, a Scots Aufidius in Coriolanus.
