Isn’t it time that all superyachts were seized (Spanish police and FBI seize superyacht in Mallorca linked to Putin ally, 4 April)? On a conservative estimate, a 70-foot luxury vessel uses around 1,000 litres of fuel per hour to achieve a speed of 20 knots. Given the impending climate disaster caused by the burning of fossil fuels, the continued use of such boats is surely a crime against humanity?

• I too am delighted that live theatre has returned (Editorial, 3 April) and thoroughly enjoyed attending my first London production in two years last weekend. However, I cannot share your enthusiasm for standing ovations. My vertically challenged and limited-mobility friend seldom gets to appreciate the curtain call since these became the norm.

• A fine article by Nell Frizzell (After decades of sneering from the sidelines, I am learning to just jump in and feel the joy, 5 April), but, believe me, at 38 you haven’t had a “lifetime of disappointments”. I’m 80, and still expect to have a few more.
