Sophie only left the young people’s theatre as her filming commitments became more demanding.

Locals audiences might remember her in Scary Play (2009) where her circus skills came to the fore.

Sophie will shortly be seen in the film Alone, opposite Ray Liotta and Mark Kassen.

Playbox director Stewart McGill said: “All of us are, naturally, delighted that Sophie is willing to continue her links with Playbox in this new role of Patron.”
