Sophie appeared as ‘The Sister’ in Bertold Brecht’s ‘A Respectable Wedding’. The production, cast from members of ‘ The Scarlet Pimpernel’ Company was presented by the Chichester Festival Theatre and The Little Theatre of Comedy Trust. Ray Cooney put on a charity performance at The Ambassadors Theatre and this was followed by a short season in March at The King’s Head in Islington. Television played only a small part in Sophie’s career but she was particularly proud of the opportunity to work with Julia McKenzie, someone she much admired, as a ‘special guest’ in ’Julia and Company’ a Thames TV production which also starred Anton Rogers and Millicent Martin. The production was recorded in June and transmitted in September. In October Sophie went to the Phoenix Arts Theatre, Leicester to appear in Beth Harley’s play ’Crimes of the Heart’ directed by Warren Hooper. Her role of Babe in this highly charged drama was a turning point for Sophie, giving her, for the first time, a notion of what she could do given the right part and the right director. The cast also included Angela Down, Stephanie Fayerman, Penny Leatherbarrow, Geoffrey Church and Patrick Brennan.
