Lancashire, I was grateful to those companies who
toured beyond London and I’ve always enjoyed
repaying that debt by touring up and down
the country myself, with the RSC, the National
Theatre, Prospect Theatre, the Actors’ Company,
as well as with commercial productions.
I was born in Burnley 80 years ago, though we
moved to Wigan when I was two months old.
