People from the worlds of academia, from theatre, community arts, drama and theatre practitioners and many others who just wanted to hear this distinctive voice were present. They proved to be an interested and enthusiastic audience who responded with energy to the interactive part of the talk - this is Cecily O’Neill after all and everyone was invited to become involved at one intriguing point.  There were plenty of good questions and this very lively atmosphere continued into the reception afterwards which went on for quite a while and at which Cecily graciously made herself available to talk with old friends, colleagues and  students. A memorable evening.
