About me:
2002 returned to acting(from teaching drama) after only doing murder mysteries and poetry recitals,apart from one extraordinary job, singing with Michael Jackson(& unwittingly Jarvis Cocker) at infamous Brit Awards show,also recently interviewed about it. I was "spotted" while in the Brighton Festival premiering new musical( unpaid) with tiny part, which grew to two parts when colleague fell & broke leg on first night! Talk about "42nd Street" "You will go out an OAP and come back a star!" I love it when I do get the chance to act again, but also enjoy my reminiscence sessions with even older folk in Homes around the country. I've won poetry & 2 short story prizes. In the last two years been associated with White Room Theatre, directing & acting "Bite-Size" plays for Edinburgh, Brighton, West End & Helsinki festivals, + dinner theatre shows. Was Greek Nun in Emmy winning Little Britain Abroad"; customers in training videos; just featured in short film for Surrey Police.
