Best was the Star Wars version:

Based on feedback from developers- I’m planning to make a Remote Voice Actors starter pack, so if you’d like to be on that tell me about your studio and drop your reel.
(Also let me know if this already exists)

Awww, what a wonderful read! Beautiful, poignant, tense, but with so much heart and love for a story that challenges grief and fear.
Not to mention the reflections of gender expectations and mental health.

Had a wonderful time playing Knightley in scenes from Emma at @janeaustenshouse.bsky.social.

A very special privilege to be invited to perform there. The house is beautiful, with such a warm and loving atmosphere. Many thanks to the staff who looked after us so well.

We have Trooper. He’s adorable, loving and nucking futs. Having recently seen Superman, I swear Krypto is based on him.
Here he is, β€œhiding” in his den after causing mischief.

I’ve had a big week playing several characters across three different shows.

Here’s me as Knightley (Oxford Festival of Arts), Officer Cannes (Festival of Chichester) and Gertrude (Aylesbury-On-Sea festival).

Knightley will be at Jane Austen’s House as part of their β€˜Emma’ festival, 19th July.
