Caption:
She bagged the honour for her costume design on Cats: The Jellicle Ball. Taking the stage in a ruffled lavender gown, Qween Jean got the night rolling with a shout of "Happy Pride!" Calling theatre-makers the "architects of imagination", she continued "This experience has been monumental. We are here for the legacy of queer people, trans people. We have to take up space. We have to shift the paradigm. So, I just want to say, thank you all so much for this incredible honour."
