Verity is a journalist who likes to escape from the world of news by visiting the theatre. A lot. She was about 10 when she saw her first West End Show (Cats) but her theatre-going habit was kick-started by an obsession with We Will Rock You in her late teens. She tries to get to the theatre at least twice a month - but her attendance record is her trip to New York - seven shows in five days... Living in the Midlands she sees a mixture of West End, off-West End and regional productions.
