The Loft Theatre Company has a long relationship with BAFTA
award-winning writer Andrew Davies, and so we are delighted to
announce that he has accepted an invitation to become our first ever
Patron.
This comes at a very important time for the Loft as we will be moving
into our new theatre within the next 18 months.
Andrew Davies is the creator of the television series A Very
Peculiar Practice and is well known for his adaptations of
literary classics including Pride and Prejudice, starring
Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, Vanity Fair, Sense
and Sensibility, the political thriller House of
Cards and screenplays for both the Bridget Jones films.
He was, for many years, a lecturer at the University of Warwick, an
experience he drew upon in writing the campus-based comedy series
A Very Peculiar Practice.
As the Loft’s honorary Patron Andrew will participate in special
events and provide his experienced advice.
He says: ‘I am honoured and delighted to become Patron of the
Loft Theatre Company. I have, for many years, admired and enjoyed your
productions and the Loft has premiered two of my plays,
Prin and Rose.’
