Old Laundry theatre in Bowness-on-Windermere will change its name next year and premiere show to mark 10th anniversary of comedian’s death

A theatre in the Lake District is to be renamed for the comedian and playwright Victoria Wood and will stage a new musical using her songs to mark the 10th anniversary of her death.

The Old Laundry theatre is run by Wood’s friends, the married couple Charlotte Scott and Roger Glossop. Wood, who died from cancer aged 62 in 2016, was a trustee of the theatre in Bowness-on-Windermere and performed there many times, also directing a revival of her play Talent there in 2008. Scott and Glossop got to know her when they worked on Talent’s premiere at the Sheffield Crucible in 1978.
