SUCCESSFUL theatre producer Lee Batty rubs shoulders with the likes of Kevin Spacey, Dame Judi Dench and Daniel Craig as an associate producer at the annual Olivier Awards.
But Lee learned his trade at Barnsley College's Electric Theatre alongside fellow Barnsley success stories Shaun Dooley, Kenny Doughty and Kate Rusby, and says he would like to return to the college one day to speak to students.
"I would love to visit and see what's happening there now," said Lee, 41, born and raised in Wombwell.
Lee has just finished work on McQueen, a play about the fashion designer Alexander McQueen which starred Dianna Agron from the hit TV show Glee, and he is also working on a number of 'pilot' projects for television.
