Performer Natasha is a graduate of World Performance at East 15 Acting School. She holds Grade 8 piano, a diploma in advanced prancing around, and is experienced in panto knee-slapping. She thanks you for the offer of matching shoes, but does not feel it would do any good. Polly Bycroft-Brown
Performer Polly didn't believe fellow East 15-er David when he said he was in a show about Boris Johnson. Doesn't she feel silly now! When she's not swearing at Michael Gove, she's usually listening to her week-long musicals playlist, squealing at dogs in public or making immersive-theatre Mario-Kart.* Polly is also one quarter of Ditto Theatre Company and is a dab hand with a camera. *Whilst some of these aren't strictly true, she has written them on the side of a bus. |
