Gaynor Young's horrifying accident on 9 th December 1989 sent shock waves around the country as news of her horrific five-storey offstage fall while understudying the part of Guinevere in Camelot was released . Gaynor was in a deep coma for four weeks and re-surfaced brain damaged, was deaf and had only 40% eyesight.

Four and a half years later Gaynor, fulfilling a promise she made to herself, appeared once more onstage, this time to tell her incredible and heart warming story in her production of My Plunge to Fame .

In 2004 Gaynor appeared in her second show Gaynor Rising to vast critical acclaim.

She has also become renowned as a professional speaker getting more enjoyment out of doing so than she ever used to as an actress!

Her talks are thought provoking, amusing and sometimes sad. You will find yourself laughing while tears pour down your cheeks.
