Practitioners on Practice... On Finance: An interview with Lesley Williams
“If you like numbers and you’re good at maths, then there are jobs and opportunities out there in the theatre world that you could enjoy.”
Lesley Williams, Head of Finance at The Lyric Hammersmith theatre, explains the value of having people around, in a theatrical environment, who aren’t afraid of the numbers. She discusses the need for persistent patience, how the finance department is very much part of the wider team, and the need to hit the ground running in the fast-paced theatre environment.
