The actress flew over from filming in London to urge a cash injection into the Metropolitan Arts Centre project, which requires a further GBP1.5 million ($3 million) to reach its GBP16.5 million ($33 million) target.

She said, "I'm proud to come to Belfast to celebrate this city's commitment to the centre and its great good work.

"The project is a cause for celebration and a template for hope."

The facility is due to open in 2011.
