Signed Dame Judi Dench Prints

As well as being THREE MEN IN A BOAT’S talented play adaptor, CLIVE FRANCIS is one of this country’s best loved caricaturists. His works can be seen adorning the walls of the National and Gielgud Theatres and the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum.

As a beautiful act of kindness, he has lovingly drawn a caricature of DAME JUDI DENCH in her Oscar-winning role as QUEEN ELIZABETH I in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE and is donating 50 LIMITED EDITION PRINTS to the Mill at Sonning to raise money for our refurbishment projects.

Each print is signed both by Clive and Dame Judi and they are available for £350 plus VAT + UK postage (also available for collection from the Mill). They are A2 in size.

Could You Give An Actor A Temporary Home?

The Mill is often seeking accommodation for our visiting actors. If you live relatively close to the theatre and you have a spare bedroom that you’d be happy to rent out, we’d love to add you to our ‘Digs List’.

The theatre employs actors from all over the country on an ongoing basis. Good, affordable, comfortable digs – for people who don’t live in the region – is an important consideration.

An actor may request to stay with you for anything from a couple of nights to the full duration of their stay (approx. 8 weeks) so timings vary. You can, of course, choose not to accept any bookings which aren’t convenient for you.

The price is also up to you, but as a guide an actor will expect to pay around £25-35 a night.

If you are interested in joining The Mill’s Digs List, we will ask you to fill out a short form giving details of the accommodation available – for example your distance from the theatre, how much you will charge, plus any other useful information. Any photographs you can provide are also a bonus.

The Digs List is shared with actors looking for accommodation and from this, arrangements can be made between the actor and yourself.

If you would like to join our Digs List or you have any questions, please contact our admin office on (0118) 969 6039
