The star of the first production in the Orange Tree Theatre's new season came to Richmond last week to open the refurbished Laura Ashley store.
Sarah Tansey did the honours at the George Street shop which now features oak flooring and furniture, as well as spectacular window displays.
She will be appearing in Pinero's A Wife Without a Smile at the Orange Tree from Wednesday when the Clarence Street theatre's autumn and winter season begins.
