"Ros is a great comic actress with impeccable timing
but she knows that comedy is founded on truth
and so can switch to pathos in a flash.
Talented, reliable, a great company member."
Joss Bennathan, Artistic Director,
Present Moment Theatre Company

POWERCUT

I'll be appearing in my one-act drama: POWERCUT - a biting little play about marriage, cruelty and Reality TV - at Henley Fringe Festival from July 19th - 24th. See the Welcome page for a flier. 

LOL

My new play about internet dating - LOL premiered to a packed and lovely house at the Soho Theatre in March 2009, and has subsequently toured to Henley, Oxford, Brighton and various London theatres.   I play three characters: Lucinda eats men for breakfast - if they're lucky;  Sarah's ready for commitment - and even married Mags is curious.  Click here for reviews.

JUBILATE!

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.

Performances have included Edinburgh, Henley, Oxford and Brighton Festivals, Southwark Playhouse, Rosemary Branch, Tabard.  Click here for reviews. 

BETWEEN FRIENDS

I recently appeared as Laura in Between Friends, a new play written by Carolyn Pertwee and me.  Director  Joe Harmston is now attached to the project.  Watch this space. 

SEXOLOGICALLY SPEAKING

I was in two of a quartet of Carolyn Pertwee's excellent short plays in November 2008 in a sell-out run at the O.S.O. in Barnes.  The evening was called Sexologically Speaking.  I appeared in Double Image and On Thin Ice.  The plays are sexy, funny and fab.
