She worked in a laundry, in cafes and restaurants, in the Bodleian Library, for the Royal Mail, in theatre and cinema box offices, as an artists' model and a teacher, before becoming a Senior Lecturer in Drama. The work took her into schools, devising theatre for children, always with a chance for audiences to participate. Performance projects included persuading the King of Winter to bring back the sun, staging a trial to determine whether Lady Macbeth was responsible for her actions, and being Dragon Detectives to help an absent-minded professor preserve habitats for magical creatures. She lives down a track in the Yorkshire Dales with her husband, David, close to their three grown up children and four grandchildren.view less
