Last week I hosted a talk on our last night at Pentonville Road before we closed as a drama school. There’s still lots for The Poor School charity to do. Watch the video here: youtu.be/N0Blob6v3z0

If you check the website - thepoorschool.com - you will see that the charity itself has not finished at all and I hope you will share my enthusiasm for what we may now achieve.

I hope that the influence of the school continues to grow for the next 50 years or more; this is in the hands of the 800-odd graduates over all the years. I hope they go on to change people who will change the theatre.

Bravi! Company of Lady Windermere's Fan, the final production at London's @ThePoorSchool which closed tonight after 32 enjoyable and productive years. The entire company, director and crew did Oscar Wilde proud. I enjoyed it so much. Such a privilege to be with you.
