[Lindsay Kemp on Jack Birkett] 'While we were in Rome in the summer of 1966, singing and dancing in piazzas and cafes, Jack began to lose his sight. He went on to try everything from surgery to bee-stings. After many hopes and disappointments, he told me: "I'll just have to cope." And cope he did, marvellously.'
