Fortune's Fool

Fortune's Fool - Joe Brearley

Joe Brearley taught English with inspiration, never without a sense of theatre and rarely without an idea of fun. Among those influenced by his teaching were the renowned internationally acclaimed playwright and Nobel Laureate, Harold Pinter and his friend Henry Woolf who were taught to love the English language, through rehearsal and performance, in poetry and Joe's play productions whilst at the (now closed) Hackney Downs School.

Following his retirement he moved to Germany and to conserve his pension took a job teaching English in a German School.
