The director of Shakespeare in Love, John Madden, tells us how Judi Dench bought the Rose theatre set, hoping to erect it somewhere (‘I woke up in a cold sweat thinking: Gwyneth in a moustache’ – how we made Shakespeare in Love, 20 November). He might be interested to know that parts of it ended up as the front desk and in other sections of the fabric of the amazing Shakespeare North Playhouse in Prescot, near Liverpool.

• It’s very good of the Patriotic Millionaires UK group to offer to have their wealth taxed (UK millionaires group projects ‘tax our wealth’ on to Treasury and Bank of England, 21 November), but as the Tory party is unlikely to enact such a charitable plan, why not do it themselves? Make a virtual tax account and use it to distribute money to those who really need it.

• Re annoying words, please add having a “brew” to your amazeballs abominations (Amazeballs! Is this the world’s most annoying word?, 22 November). No tea leaves were harmed, just a teabag dunked in hot water.

• Having an apostrophe in my surname and living on Friars’ Walk, I prefer it to be omitted rather than misplaced (Letters, 24 November). When Friar’s Walk appeared in our local WhatsApp group, I was accused of pedantry; I had pointed out that there was more than one friar living in the pre-Reformation friary up the road.
