Filter by:

 Victoria has been involved in theatre since the age of eight and acted and worked on numerous productions in many genres. Despite being offered places at two drama schools in the U.K., she chose a different direction and studied a BA Hons in Literature and History with numerous papers in theatre and drama including Theatre of the Absurd, Modern American Theatre, Shakespeare and Brechtian Theatre.

Victoria continued her passion for drama by producing and stage managing a number of productions as a student.  A few years later, she studied at the University of Leeds for a Postgraduate Certificate in Education in English and Drama and has worked as a teacher of English and drama. This passion has continued again in performing in a number of productions since emigrating to New Zealand.

Victoria has written a number of literature and theatre reviews, including for the Taranaki Arts Festival in 2013 and 2015.
