Thrilled and grateful that this has happened. I’ve worked in this Industry all my life. I’ve enjoyed playing Mrs Wilberforce in ‘The Ladykillers’ in theatre as well as most recently a leading role as Spanish nun sister Margarita in an indie feature film ‘Paai – The Mat’. Also loved voicing Professor Jeanne Mareaux – 2nd lead to the title character in new Video Game ‘Harold Halibut’. Very much hoping to do more theatre, screen and voice over work.
