Biography
The Allotment is Lin's first time directing solo, although she has co-directed a couple of plays in the UK many years ago, and has approximately thirty-five years of experience both professionally and in community theatre.
Lin absolutely loves The Allotment, having previously played by the part of Norah, and finds it lovely to see it re-enacted by so many great actors to bring her vision to life.
Since joining Spectrum, Lin has had the honour of playing Mrs Rogers in Agatha Christies And Then There Were None; performing a very special monologue Ham Sandwich, which was written by her very dear friend, in Spectrum Theatre's One Actually; and Lin thoroughly enjoyed playing Dawn in A Composite Arrangement. Lin looks forward to hopefully performing in some of the fantastic plays we have lined up for the coming years — although after A Composite Arrangement, she might be typecast into the grandmother parts now, but says “bring it on”!
