This Photo was taken outside the stage door at the Haymarket in February after a
Royal Family performance.  Ms. Dench could not have been more accommodating
to all the people who waited outside in the cold.  She stayed until everyone's
autographs had been signed and photos had been taken and took care to
converse with everyone who was there.  The thing that struck me was the
interest she took in the conversations, asking in depth questions of
others, rather than just an "Oh, isn't that lovely" attitude.  She was
extremely kind to everyone. 

The performance was a hoot, but for me the most memorable part of the
evening was definitely meeting Ms. Dench and the other celebrities.
