Esme first made a serious appearance on stage 16 years ago, for Geordie Theatre Productions (Pygmalion (2003); Amadeus (2004)). Since then she has featured in several HVT pantomimes, as well as Hudson Player’s Club’s The Great Gatsby (2016) and Clockmaster Production’s Fessenden Follies (2018). She is thrilled to play a part in The Full Monty, it being a humbling reminder of her childhood in Thatcher’s bleak England, and a nod to the resourcefulness that shows up in the face of desperation.  A great big thank you to all the team, on and off stage!
