FEBRUARY 2011
I am rehearsing at present for a production of
'Still Life' by Noel Coward. The play is set in the cafe of a railway
station and focusses on several illicit encounters between a married
doctor and a housewife. The play was adapted and expanded into the full
length film script 'Brief Encounter'. I am playing young, giggly Beryl
Waters - the cafe assistant. The show plays at the Pentameters Theatre,
Hampstead from February 22 - March 13. See www.pentameters.co.uk for
details.
DECEMBER 2010
Despite the snow, I am still performing my
one-woman show 'Fire,Fire'. The show is an interactive story about the
Great Fire of London which I perform for school groups at the Museum of
London.
OCTOBER 2010
I've been doing six weeks of filming on the
forthcoming 3D film 'Hugo Cabret', which is being directed by Martin
Scorsese. I had a small featured role as a 1930's dancer. I also did
some Automatic Dialogue Replacement (ADR) for the film, working for
Oscar winning film editor Thelma Schoonmaker. 'Hugo Cabret' will be
showing in cinemas from 9 December 2011.
JULY 2010
I am touring the UK until September 5th in
Illyria's 'Pride and Prejudice'. This is a great show performed by a
cast of five actors. I'm therefore playing both Lydia and Jane bennet,
Charlotte Lucas and Lasy Lucas, Mrs Reynolds and Georgiana Darcy. I have
31 costume changes during the show! We are performing outdoors at
National Trust properties and castles across the country so I'm sure
I'll be at a venue near you. Dates can be found at
www.illyria.uk.com
FEBRUARY 2010
I am currently touring the south of France in the premier
of Philip Ayckbourn's comedy 'The Essence of Love'. I am playing Gemma,
a shy, timid, bookish 19 old who is on holiday with her domineering
mother in Marrakech. When her mother spikes her drink with a powerful
love potion, we get to see a whole new side to Gemma as her passion is
directed at the first person she encounters. I return to the UK mid
April.
JUNE 2009
I am touring the UK and the Netherlands until
September in Illyria’s ‘The Mowgli Stories’. The show is faithful to
Kipling’s ‘The Jungle Books’ so it appeals to adults and children alike.
It is very physical and involves multi-role playing. I play Kaa - the
snake, Akela – the chief wolf, Messua, Shadi, a couple of monkeys, deer,
buffalo etc. The roles require singing, drumming and hoola hooping! We
perform at beautiful outdoor venues in all weathers. Follow the link to
check out the tour schedule – I’ll probably be appearing at a National
Trust property or a castle near you!

JAN 2009
At present I am touring the South of France for
two months in the premier of Philip Ayckbourn's comedy 'A Fool's Wager'.
I'm playing cynical, competative, unlucky-in-love Laura, who manipulates
her housemate and pushes her into making a bet which will test her
'perfect' relationship.

Feb ‘08
I have just returned from touring the South of France in the premier of
Philip Ayckbourn’s comedy ‘A Plan of Action’. I played Tabitha who,
struggling to accept her mother’s new partner, disguises herself as
sultry, french Sophie in an attempt to seduce him and drive them apart.
The play was very well received in Cannes, Nice, St Tropez and
throughout the many towns visited.
