In memory of Penelope Keith

Theatres Trust is saddened by the news of the death of former Board Member actress Dame Penelope Keith.

Actress Penelope Keith served on our Board for nine years between 2008 and 2017.

She was a staunch advocate for our work, personally supporting man campaigns including our annual Theatres at Risk Register and visiting recipients of our grant scheme.

Her theatre career began in repertory prior to joining the Royal Shakespeare Company. She was appointed a Dame in the New Years honours 2014.

Our thoughts are with her family and friends.
