Michael Croft
John Michael Croft, OBE (8 March 1922 – 15 November 1986) was an English actor, schoolteacher, and writer. He founded, and was the lifelong director of, The National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. Based upon his own experience of supply teaching in tough secondary schools, he wrote the controversial anti-corporal punishment novel ''Spare the Rod'', which was later released as a film.
==Early life==
Croft was born in Hengoed, Shropshire (near Oswestry). His mother, Constance Croft, was unmarried, and at an early age he and an older sister went to be fostered by an aunt in Manchester.〔David Weston, 'Who Was Who in Dulwich: Michael Croft, Founder of the National Youth Theatre', ''The Dulwich Society Newsletter'', 7 August 2008〕 Croft attended Plymouth Grove Elementary School,〔''Who Was Who'', A & C Black, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing plc, 1920–2008; online edn, Oxford University Press, Dec 2007〕 and later obtained a place at the Burnage Grammar School, where he would remain from 1933 to 1940.〔Geoffrey Sykes, 'Croft, (John) Michael (1922–1986). ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004〕 While at Burnage, he developed a love of poetry which was to last all his life, but the fondness for classical music which took him fairly often to concerts by The Hallé orchestra was not to last to a similar extent. His ambitions at that time were either to become a writer or to play cricket for Lancashire County Cricket Club.〔''Desert Island Discs'', BBC Radio 4, 17 September 1977〕
