I have received a letter from Mark Luboff, son of Andrei Luboff (1940-1945) who died on 14th April following serious heart surgery. Mark writes of his father’s enjoyment of his school days at Clayesmore and gained a great love of drama and the theatre during his time here. Andrei Luboff was a Cambridge man and there and at the Inter-Varsity Club in London, at the Dramatists Group in Kensington and in local amateur dramatic circles, he spent much of his time acting, directing and producing plays and revues of all types. Though a very successful city businessman working in banking and insurance, Andrei was never happier than when going to the theatre and even in his last year he had been a very active member of the Bromley Theatre Group. Mark has very generously suggested that his father’s love of the theatre, the roots of which lie firmly in Clayesmore soil, be commemorated in an annual award in his father’s name to be presented annually to the most promising actor at Clayesmore.
