Danni Payne is one of the most delightful, genuinely funny young actresses I've had the pleasure of working with. I directed her in Central School of Speech and Drama's production of THE BAKER'S WIFE, in which she elevated a fairly minor role into one of the highlights of the evening. Great to work with, talented, curious. In short, everything you could want.


PROFESSOR PAUL BARKER (RCSSD)

Danni was an outstanding student last year with Music Theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, for which I am programme leader. Danni set the highest standards for herself in her year with us and as a result will graduate with a mark that reflects her high achievements. These same standards were visible and audible to all those who came to see her many performances with us over the year. Danni is bright, determined, popular with her peers and serious about her work, but shares with all an irrepressible sense of humour.

Danni will have an extraordinary career ahead, and those of us who are able to help her will be pleased to see such promise rewarded as it should be.
