● My allotment takes up a lot of my time. I'm good at occupying myself and my granddaughters say I'm a great crafter - I do lots of felting and painting. But acting is my biggest passion in life and without work I get fidgety.

● In my latest play I'm a rather sinister character, which is a departure for me. It's a thriller called Murder In The Dark and my character lives on a remote farm. There's a car crash and a collection of people arrive at the farm and can't get away. When I told my son he said, "Oh good!" He likes it when I play baddies.
