Lynne Payne - Creative Producer
A native of Blackpool, Lynne studied theatre at Lancaster University. After leaving university, Lynne worked as a casting assistant for various companies including Chloe Emmerson Casting (Billy Elliott, Sexy Beast). In 2005 she formed her own production company Random Productions, working with actor/writer Patrick McConnell to produce numerous stage plays which toured nationally in theatre and non-theatre spaces, selling out in multiple venues.
Re-branded Rotten Park Road in 2007, Lynne has co-produced the award-winning darkly comic thriller A Story For When We're Grandads and the gritty and compelling Playtime For The Suicidal, both for the stage. Lynne is a member of the Producer's Forum and over the last two years she has co-produced a number of short films.
Branching out from her work as a producer, Lynne also works as a jobbing actor and dance artist. She currently lives in Leek, producing and performing in work both as a freelancer and for Rotten Park Road.
