Leigh Sykes moved to New Zealand from the UK in March 2009 and she has been teaching Drama in West Auckland ever since. She trained as a teacher at the University of Durham and is currently studying for a Master of Arts in the Advance Teaching of Shakespeare with the University of Warwick.

Leigh has been an avid theatre goer since she was at school and was fortunate enough to work in West End theatre while taking time out from teaching and living in London.

Leigh particularly enjoys plays by Shakespeare, Brecht and New Zealand writers, but is also keen to experience as much new work as possible. When not immersed in plays, she is a keen scuba diver and loves to be immersed in water.
