  • Leonie Scott-Matthews Appointed an OBE for Work on Pentameters Theatre and Services to Hampstead
    New Year's Honours: Leonie Scott-Matthews appointed an OBE for work on Pentameters Theatre and services to Hampstead PUBLISHED: 22:30 27 December 2019 | UPDATED: 16:57 28 December 2019 Harry Taylor Leonie Scott-Matthews, who founded Pentameters Theatre in 1968 and has run it ever since, has been given the gong for services to British Theatre and services to the community in Hampstead. The 78-year-old, who has lived in the area since 1961, said she was "over the moon" at the news. She said: "Always doing things my way, the alternative way, it can be quite isolating. You think 'Am I right, or am I wrong?'. I've done it in a unique way, single handedly. "We've had our ups and downs in the 51 years we've run it, with no financial aid, but we've made it work." Ms Scott-Matthews started the theatre after holding poetry sessions in the cellar of the Freemasons Arms in Downshire Hill. She then held performances in a temporary home in the former Haverstock Tavern, before making the final move to Pentameters home above the Horseshoe Pub in Heath Street where it has remained ever since. She lives a stone's throw away with her partner Godfrey Old, with whom she has a 31-year-old daughter, Alice. She grew up in Mapperley near Nottingham before escaping to the bright lights of London and the Royal Academy of Music and Drama in the 1960s. She said: "When I was in drama school in the early 1960s I fell in love with Hampstead.
