Hannah is an actor, singer and theatre-maker. She has performed in productions across the UK and Europe and has worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. She frequently works in productions that centre devised and multidisciplinary work, and she is a fan of working on adaptations and new writing. She trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and graduated in 2016. Whilst there she was awarded the Newton Blick Award for Most Versatile Actor.
Prior to training, Hannah studied English Language and Literature at University. She is passionate about words in all their forms and spends an excess of her time reading poetry, which she celebrates on her Instagram here. She has recently completed a collection of poetic short stories for children, more on that here. She has an active interest in the sciences, and in physics in particular; wrote her final university dissertation on Chaos Theory; and will discuss any aspect of modern physics at any opportunity.
Whilst at university, she performed in fifteen student theatre productions in three years, including theatre and comedy, two Edinburgh Fringe runs and a Shakespeare tour to Japan. She grew up in Leicester, in the East Midlands, and spent most of her childhood singing in choirs and school plays.
Hannah is queer and of mixed ancestry with Jewish, Irish, Welsh and southern Mediterranean strands amongst others. She is particularly keen to work on projects which connect with the queer and/or Jewish aspects of her identity.
Hannah enjoys trees, nature, swimming, and making things out of wood. When she is not in London, she can often be found staying with family friends, their courgettes, and their chickens at their home in the French Pyrenees.
