About me
This summer I performed my first one-woman show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, as well as performing Pericles with the Make Trouble esemble in the USA. I'm a recent graduate of King's College, Cambridge with a BA in English Literature, and I'm currently training in improvisation with the Free Association. I'm hoping to find acting/comedy representation and experience in theatre, film and TV. Last summer I travelled around India for 6 weeks teaching drama workshops to disadvantaged children in Delhi, Lucknow and Jaipur, aged 4-18. I enjoy character comedy, straight acting and occassionaly writing my own material - photos, reviews and additional information can be found on my website. If you have any questions or simply want to get in contact, please don't hesitate to message me!Skills
