Pam Browne

This is Pam’s first time acting at Ellerslie, after many years in a studio company in England. She emigrated three years ago and was delighted to discover ‘Community Theatre’, which has given her a chance to branch out – directing, wardrobe, props, make-up – and meet great people. “An unexpected opportunity came along to be in this play, but who could resist being part of a creative director’s work, with an exceptional, talented cast and such beautiful words.”

Pam believes that directing is a leap into the unknown - with hope. She has taken that leap twice before, first for a minimalist production of a drama with its revelation of a family riven by domestic abuse 'Because of Beth', the second, a comedy drama by Graham Green 'Our Man in Havana' with its glorious send-up of British MI6; both for Howick Little Theatre. Pam’s hope is that this production conveys the writer’s intentions, because these are central. But who can say? She hopes that the audience will feel included and animated by the production and forgive the director.
