All theatre has truth, from Theatre in Education to panto to Shakespeare.

You wouldn't get rid of the Mona Lisa just because someone painted another picture of a woman smiling.

Everyone has their own taste: some like theatre, some don't, some like opera, some don't, some like pantomimes, and some don't.

We all have our own areas where we are gifted or where we struggle and that's at the heart of everyone's journey.

I love London. I know it's an old saying but there's always something to do, so much so that when you live here you end up not actually doing much!

If someone came up with a new idea for a pantomime that worked, then that would be great but we shouldn't step away from Jack and the Beanstalk, Aladdin or Mother Goose.

Although it may be the easiest, it's not always the best.
