Lynn Robertson Hay has a passion for storytelling - acting and writing since she was a child, and now professionally for over thirty years. Her writing covers a number of episodes for BBC TV, plus film, audio and theatre - winning a Writers' Guild award for Best Children’s Theatre. Jared Harris (CHERNOBYL, THE CROWN etc) and Nicholas Hamilton (IT) play the leads in BRAVE THE DARK, a feature film she was involved in writing.
As an actor Lynn has played parts ranging from Lady Macbeth to Mole and Puck to Miss Prism. Within the last few years 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; conference centres; a 10th birthday party; an 85th birthday party; a Swiss hotel that inspired Disney, Kipling and Scott Fitzgerald, and the only part of Glastonbury Abbey still standing (not her fault).
You can see her reading many excerpts from her stories and answering children's questions about writing books on her YouTube channel, L R Hay.
Lynn's claim to fame is that she once won an episode of TV quiz show FIFTEEN TO ONE.

Serie
The Young Testament
|
Entertaining and moving kids'-eye view of the Jesus story - aimed at preteens, though some adults have sneakily read and enjoyed it too.
Tammie's life in a quiet fishing town would never be the same. Her future wasn't looking good (understatement!) but things quickly went from bad to WICKED with the arrival of a strange grown-up with nice eyes.
And as for the business with Daniel's lunch, or Dibs's roof...
JAIRUS'S GIRL is the Galilee side of The Young Testament, a fun, accessible series of full-length books about Jesus, from the viewpoint of the children and young people involved.
