As an actor Lynn has played parts ranging from Lady Macbeth to Mole and Puck to Miss Prism. Within the last few years alone she’s been seen wielding a rolling pin as Flo Capp in ANDY CAPP - THE MUSICAL, made her West End debut understudying the mighty Stockard Channing in APOLOGIA and going on in that amazing lead role 8 times, and appeared in season 3 of crime drama UNFORGOTTEN for ITV.

One-woman show REDEEMING FEATURES has played a variety of venues in the UK, US and elsewhere - tents; shopping malls; ornate Victorian theatres; cafes; streets; a 10th birthday party; an 85th birthday party; a swish Swiss hotel that inspired Disney, Kipling and Scott Fitzgerald, and the only part of Glastonbury Abbey still standing (not her fault).

Lynn's claim to fame is that she once won an episode of TV quiz show FIFTEEN TO ONE.

The Young Testament is an entertaining and accessible kids'-eye view of the whole Jesus story.

"Funny, imaginative and moving... We loved it... The characters feel as if they're there in front of you... definitely a recommended read for 8-13 year olds." New Wine Magazine

JOSEPH'S BOY covers the birth and childhood, while JAIRUS'S GIRL follows the Galilee side of the grown-up Jesus.

Next up will be THAT WOMAN'S GIRL, set in Samaria - an outsider's take on Jesus!
