A couple who met on stage celebrated a milestone anniversary by visiting the place where it all began.
Helen and Graham Tudor met while performing in the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk at Theatre Royal Plymouth in 2005, after unexpected changes in the production.
They had not been scheduled for the show but, after a last-minute casting call, found themselves performing the lead roles of Jack and Princess Apricot. One year later, Mr Tudor proposed to the now Ms Tudor on Plymouth Hoe.
The couple, now married with children, revisited the stage where it all began for their 20-year anniversary. Ms Tudor said it was a “full circle moment”.
She said: “Once we were stood in the theatre it didn’t feel like 20 years had passed at all.
“Little did we know that when we left Plymouth in January 2006 we were beginning our future journey together, and it meant the world to us to introduce our children to the place it all began.”
A spokesperson for the theatre said the couple enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of the theatre, revisited the stage and reflected on the lasting impact the theatre had had on their lives.
