  Disappointment for Jude Kelly the Artistic Director of the West Yorkshire Playhouse, who will not be taking over from Trevor Nunn at the Royal National Theatre in London - the job goes to Nicholas Hytner - however it probably means that Leeds can look forward to having Patrick back at WYP again in the next few years if they continue to collaborate together...

Over at the RSC, Adrian Noble is reportedly keen to get Morgan Freeman and Ralph Fiennes signed up for major roles in the near future in his continued upheaval of the company and it's position to attract 'big names' to play there.

With Kenneth Branagh already set to return, isn't it time to say "Get Patrick Stewart back". Come on Adrian, get your finger out!

PSN gathering in Leeds
  Patrick once again kindly met up with his fan club members on Saturday at WYP, giving them a chance to ask him about his current and future work plans. Nice to see those electronic contacts face to face at last, and meet up with friends old and new. Many thanks also to all those who commented on the web site - it's much appreciated! 
Here's a few of photos taken by yours truly to remind you of the event:  Please note the webmaster will be away as of Friday for a 2 week holiday to Canada - so don't expect any updates or e-mail replies until after 15 October !
