​I am delighted to have been asked to be a Patron of Theatre@41. It's a wonderful and creative space filled with the huge hearts of the many volunteers, past and present, who keep it alive and kicking for all the people who have enjoyed and benefited from it. It supports and encourages the community of York to deliver art in all of its wonderful forms. I very much look forward to being part of its life and I wish you an exciting future for both performers and audiences alike.
