1988 S. Fry in Guardian 2 Apr. 17/8 Acting in a proper grown-up play, being a lovie, doing the West End, ‘shouting in the evenings’, as the late Patrick Troughton had it.

1993 Radio Times 28 Aug. 98/3 I'm a fairly regular theatre-goer... But I try not to surround myself with actors or get sucked into the ‘luvvy’ scene.

1995 Musical Times 136 511/3 Islington cognoscenti and arty luvvies from further afield were out in force.
