How time flies! We are now in our FINAL WEEK of @ChichesterFT's #KingLear at Duke of York's Theatre!

King Lear West End cant really find the words for how amazing it was - we laughed and cried in equal measure and Ian McKellen was breathtaking. It was everything I’d hoped for and more.

Last night was our 100th & final performance of King Lear West End; a project I joined 9 months ago & saw 28 times. What a pleasure to work with the brilliant Jonathan Munby, the legendary Ian McKellen & the loveliest, most talented company at Duke of York's Theatre. I'll miss it & them hugely.
