Catchy

Summer ’06 saw me joining the cast of the new musical ‘Catchy!’ which was produced by Total Beast and performed at Bedlam Theatre throughout the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. A bawdy comedy set in mid-1660’s plague-time London, the show charts the story of a pair of star-crossed lovers who fall for each other over the body-collecting cart. A classic comic plot ensues as the lovers try to thwart the evil intentions of the girl’s father, the Mayor of London, who intends her marriage to diarist Samuel Pepys as part of a wider plot to burn down London town and build his and Christopher Wren’s vision of a new city!

The Bright and Bold Design

I finished my year at Drama Studio London with a great role; Jessie Frost in Peter Whelan’s ‘The Bright and Bold Design’. She was an intriguing character to play; a strong and capable young woman in many ways yet with a fragility that she couldn’t escape. Read more

Drama Studio London

In August 2004 I began my training at Drama Studio London, and spent the next year learning as much as I could from the school’s knowledgeable and inspiring tutors. It was a practical training, which focused not only on acting for the stage, but also for TV, commercials and radio, as well as storytelling, role-play and drama for business. Classes included the core subjects of voice, movement, singing, dance, improvisation and text analysis, as well as stage combat, theatre history, stagecraft, accents, physical theatre, period movement, audition technique, and character.
