THEATRE
 My professional life in the theatre began in weekly and fortnightly
rep. Then followed Fringe theatre, Music Hall, cabaret, touring and West End. Some of my
favourite roles include Amy in ‘Charley’s Aunt’, Mrs Squeamish in ‘The
Country Wife’, Angela in ‘Abigail’s Party’, and Jan in Aykbourn’s
‘Bedroom Farce’ for which The Evening Standard praised my ‘sharpness of
style’. Cameron Macintosh had me change sex by casting me as Christopher Robin in
‘Winnie the Pooh’, and for ‘Friday Night is Music Night’ at St
David’s Hall, Cardiff, I again had to wear short trousers for ‘Sparky and his
Magic Piano’. It was simultaneously broadcast live on Radio 2.

I’d like to continue playing every Christmas! |
|
| In Pantomime I’ve played several principal
girls, my favourite being of course, Cinderella. |

I also played a variety of characters including Lady
Salisbury and
'Lady Sackville-West in 'Wellington' performed at Apsley House,
London |

I am
repeating my successful one-woman-show, "The Merry Wife of Wilton"
in 2007.
'One of the brightest and most surprising
coups for the Windsor Fringe! Her attention to detail is
immaculate...'

Having
played a nurse in ‘The Troubleshooters’ while still a student, I was later to be
cast as a nurse again – Mary - in the long running ATV children’s series
‘Why Can’t I Go Home?’. I also made appearances in ‘Rainbow’,
‘Agony’, ‘By The Sea’, 'Bless Me Father', 'Fresh Fields' and was the
third witch BBC2’s ‘Macbeth’ with Corin Redgrave.

RADIO

Over my many years in radio, I've had some
fabulous roles, including Mrs Allonby in ‘A Woman of No Importance’ with Diana
Rigg and Mrs Copperfield in ‘David Copperfield’. As an often used child’s
voice I was Kim in Waggoners Walk, Peter in ‘Peter Pan’, Flora in ‘The
Piano’, Gavroche in ‘Les Miserables’ & many others.

I
also played Trillian, from The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy radio series. Tricia
McMillian (Trillian to her friends) is a highly trained astrophysicist and keeper of white
mice. Born on Earth, she met a guy at a fancy dress party who turned out to be from
another planet. He eventually turned out to be her boyfriend, Zaphod Beeblebrox. These
improbable fates may be related to her time aboard the Heart of Gold, which she learnt to
pilot by driving round Hyde Park Corner on a moped.
