Ewan tended to leave his impression on whoever he worked with, but he was certainly influenced by them at the same time
Often you didn't realise it at the time
Reading what has been written on Theatre Workshop and having spoken to some of its members, Joan and Jerry Raffles included, I was left with the imprecision that it was a democratic enterprise with a few personalities - Ewan being the main one
Their discipline was fairly strict but it was agreed on

Ewan was fond of telling the story of a newly arrived Harry H Corbett being introduced to the method of work at T.W. by being stripped to his underpants and vest, taken to London's West End in a taxi and put out on the Corner of Oxford Street to make his way back to base - Harry reportedly said "It was the making of me"
Ewan strongly opposed Theatre Workshop moving to London so he eventually left and became a folkie
Ewan and Peggy were indispensable as a team - both were very much their own creative artists but they appeared to use each others skills to enhance their own
When I was living with them I'd sit i the back seat of the car going home after a Singers Club night and they would minutely discuss their ow and each others performance that night throughout the journey - I went to bed several times leaving them still at it in the kitchen

I know I've told this story but at the risk of being accused 'boringly repetitive...
I was asked to rewire the lights in their home at the time Ewan was writing for the forthcoming 'Festival of Fools' late in the year
I'd spent a day wiring a circuit which I was hoping to finish before it got too dark - Ewan was in an upstairs room working by a desk-light
At about 3-30 Ewan came down and asked Peggy and I ti sit and listen to what he had been writing and tell us what we thought - it took over an hour, by which time it was nearly dark
I had to finish the lighting circuit with Peggy holding a torch
That was how Ewan worked under pressure - he became unconscious of everything else
