In 2008 I played Maggie in the Weaver Hughes Ensemble production of “Pebbles on the Beach” written by Joanna Pinto and directed by Timothy Hughes. The play was first performed at the Pleasance Courtyard at the Edinburgh Fringe and subsequently went on to a three week run at the Old Red Lion in Angel.

Luckily the character of Maggie was pregnant, as by the time we finished the run at the Old Red Lion I was eight months pregnant myself!

What Goes Around is a Scriptonic Films production.
A short black comedy written, produced and directed by David Kline featuring Philip Jackson, Annabel Cleare, Michael Woodford and Howard Smith.

Story:
Andy is going about his business when he finds his path blocked by a car selfishly parked in the middle of the road by local miscreant, Barry (Philip Jackson).

Andy asks Barry to move the car but when Barry refuses Andy is forced to capitulate.

Andy enlists his girlfriend, Katie, to avenge the anti-social action but there are results no-one could predict.

Harvey Lilley directed the 2007 Timewatch documentary “The Real Atlantis”. Quickfire Media, who produced the programme for the BBC,  required a professional actress who enjoyed working with snakes to play the part of the Minoan Snake Goddess.

I had a live snake wrapped around each wrist! Unfortunately, in the finished programme (which went out on BBC2 at 9pm on 20th April 2007) I don’t think you can actually tell they were real…
