JUBILATE!

I'll be performing my one-woman play . . .

"This is marvellous - a real miniature drama crackling with comedy both dark and light"
Libby Purves

"I'm so glad I came - I was so impressed"
Barry Humphries

. . . at The Henley Fringe Festival, from Wed. 23rd - Sat. 26th July at 7pm,

Everyone knows someone who thinks they know best. In Jubilate! that someone is Anna, vicar's wife and radio personality. She has her own life sorted out - apparently - and now thinks it'd be a good idea to sort out everyone else's......oh dear.

THE COMEDY PROJECT

In March 2008 I contributed as writer and performer to the new season of The Comedy Project (www.comedyproject.co.uk) at the Soho Theatre. My new play Drastic Plastic was showcased on Wednesday March 19th.

Daffodil has drastic plastic surgery to reclaim the years.

SEXOLOGICALLY SPEAKING

I was in two of a quartet of Carolyn Pertwee's excellent short plays from 15th to 18th November in a sell-out run at the O.S.O. in Barnes. (OSO Box Office: 020 8876 9885)  The evening was called Sexologically Speaking.  I appeared in Double Image and On Thin Ice.  The plays are sexy, funny and fab.  

CAREER IN OUTLINE

I am a graduate of Cambridge Universityand I subsequently trained at The Drama Centre.

Since then I have worked extensively in theatre, television, cabaret and radio, primarily in comic roles.

I am a member of the Soho Theatre's flourishing Comedy Project.

 

My one-woman show, Jubilate!, was well received at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival (where it was performed under the title Bruised Blueberries).
