The Ghosts of North Leith - Citadal Arts
Inspired by seven gravestones in the North Leith Burial Ground, it was fantastic to join the cast of this fascinating play.. Real stories were brought to life based on the amazing historical figures all buried in this Edinburgh graveyard. Playing eight characters including Nelly Gladstones and a feisty Jacobite was challenging but very rewarding and the magnificent church made for an inspiring venue.
All 4*** reviews too!

Leithers Live - Citadal Arts
I was delighted to join the Citadel family again and bring this fantastic site specific show to life, following the indomitable Preston family of Leith from the 1300s to the present day. I played 5 different characters from Agnes Preston the Inn Keeper in 1300s Leith to Anne McGregor in the modern day. You can read the 4 star review here...
