James Norton: ‘North Yorkshire will always be home for me’

Last year Norton became the new patron of Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre (SJT) – which is where he did his work experience as a teenager.

Earlier this month he returned to the town and hosted an “in conversation” event about his life at the venue.

He said: “I did my work experience there when I was 15, so to come back full circle was really nice.”

He described the venue as a “really important” part of his journey into “this mad industry”.

“They’re actually the only producing theatre in North Yorkshire, which is a sad reflection on the state of regional theatre”, he said.

“But, it is an amazing building, with amazing heritage and history. I love it.”

Reflecting on the evening, which was attended by his parents, Norton said the audience were “very supportive” and he joked it was “great” to talk about himself for and hour and a half.
