Second Witch (Gentlewoman)

 

This is Sophie’s first time in a Canterbury Shakespeare Festival production, and her first performance in a Shakespeare play. 

​

Prior to that, she was a member of the Quayside Payers in Sandwich, performing in The Trial of Charles I, and has played various roles in Guild Players productions – a long-established amateur dramatics group in Deal. Appearances include Linzi Ellison in Alan Ayckbourn’s Drowning on Dry Land, and the Witch in Hansel and Gretel. 

​

Acting credits also include a school production of The Happiest Days of Your life, with now well-known actor and personality Neil Morrissey.

​

Sophie works at Canterbury Christ Church University and lives in Sandwich, where she can sometimes be found sampling the delights of the many hostelries in the town.
