BiographyLynn graduated from Bretton Hall College in Yorkshire and spent the following 25 years as an actor/musician. She mostly played best-friends and tart-with-a-heart parts in regional repertory seasons: Mrs Johnson in 'Blood Brothers' for the London Bubble; Maria in a rock & roll 'Twelfth Night' for the New Vic in Stoke and lots of Panto good fairies amongst countless other roles. A few bits of telly, a longish stint on BBC radio and two kids later, she turned to producing community and schools' projects for the New Wolsey Theatre including the Pulse Festival. She now works freelance creating theatre events across East Anglia.
