I’m not sure who Zainab Johnson’s been talking to, but she’ll have no problem finding vegan/plant-based food here in Edinburgh during the fringe (‘I spent a month sleeping in a cupboard’: comedians on the true cost of the Fringe, 27 July).

• A review of The Winter’s Tale (23 July), but no mention of the climactic bear scene! The best bit. Actually, all I remember of the play.Peter BrookerWest Wickham, London
