Lynne Kirwin mentored me as a student volunteer at the Young Vic in 1971, and her encouragement set me on course to work in professional arts management. We became colleagues at the National Theatre when Peter Hall was director, and then consultants on his subsequent launch of the Rose Theatre in Kingston.
