You may remember that the Pegasus Theatre in Oxford hosted a fundraising evening in November 2007, at which their patron, Philip Pullman was guest of honour. Amongst other things the audience were offered discussion on the then upcoming film adaptation of ‘The Golden Compass’ and a world premiere reading of Pullman’s latest book, ‘Once Upon A Time In The North’. Pegasus’ fundraising efforts have continued, and they are now just £800,000 away from reaching the amount they need to redevelop their building in Oxford. Their most recent e-newsletter reports that Philip and Jude Pullman recently donated £100,000 towards the Pegasus campaign. If you’d like to find out more about Pegasus head here.
