About me
I am a youthfully spirited, middle-aged character actress, wishing to re-launch my career and my passion for performing, having spent time out of the business bringing up a family and teaching English and Drama up to A Level within Secondary Schools.I am vocally flexible, can create most accents, (hence my time with BBC Radio Drama Company) and could be cast as Semitic, Mediterranean or English. I play comic Lancashire well, but also tough Mancunian and scrub up well for Posh.
