The Kay Mellor Fund
Leeds Playhouse is delighted to announce a special Fund in memory of the trailblazing screenwriter, with full support of her family, friends, and production company Rollem, to ensure Kay’s legacy and passion for supporting new writers is continued at our theatre in her home city.
