] I cannot make out if Tom LeFroy was involved in the theatricals or not- and if so, whether he and Jane were attracted to each other as a part of this... there is a hint of this in the Nokes biography, but nothing really definite, and I really wonder if there is any basis to it at all.

As usual I missed to check what I had written.
I wrote Tom Lefroy, it should have been Tom Fowle who were taking part in the theatricals. Very similar sounding names.
Don't know about Tom Lefroy.
