Following the sad news of the passing of legendary actress and politician Glenda Jackson, West End theatres will dim their lights for 2 minutes at 7pm tonight (16 June) in her memory.

Jackson was a five-time Olivier Award nominee and had a lifelong career on both stage and screen.

Co-Chief Executive of the Society of London Theatre and UK Theatre, Hannah Essex, said: “The theatre world mourns the loss of the late Glenda Jackson, whose work touched so many generations. We are proud to celebrate her incredible legacy in the West End.”
