Patrons

Juliet Stevenson

Juliet has worked extensively for the RSC and the Royal National Theatre. She won an Olivier Award for her role in Death and the Maiden at the Royal Court, and a number of other awards for her work in the film Truly, Madly, Deeply. Other film credits include The Trial, Drowning by Numbers, and Emma. Described as “one of the finest actors of her generation” (The Times).

Juliet has been a consistent supporter of iceandfire since our inception in 2003 and
appeared in the gala performance of Asylum Monologues at the National Portrait Gallery in 2006.

Jean Lambert MEP

Jean, a former teacher from East London, has been London’s Green MEP since 1999. Her special interests include Democracy and Human Rights, Refugee Rights, Anti-discrimination and Social Inclusion and aiding the development of a Green employment strategy.

“It is an honour to be a patron of iceandfire. My deep commitment to human rights issues is reflected in their work and their unique use of theatre to make these issues relevant to all of us is something I wholeheartedly support.”

Steve Waters

Steve is a playwright whose plays include World Music, Fast Labour and The Contingency Plan. He also runs the post-graduate playwriting course the MPhil(B) in Playwriting Studies at the University of Birmingham and is a member of British Theatre Consortium.

“As a writer whose plays have addressed questions of global justice and ecological crisis I think the work of iceandfire – finding theatrical platforms for voices excluded from mainstream media – is simply essential.”
