Claire Jared, who played the role of Marjorie in “With Marjorie Gone” is now starring in one of the current series of Axa television commercials. Watch it here Little Things

For short film makers this is a perfect example of telling a complete story in less than a minute! And Claire is lovely in it. Hope some astute casting director notices.

Claire also has a supporting role in the first episode of the new series of “Birds of a Feather”. So looks like you’ll be seeing a lot more of her.

As part of the Women in Arts festival at the Actors Centre in December, I will be leading a FREE workshop for actors on character development on Tuesday morning 17th December I should emphasise, despite the title of the festival, this is an event for both women and men!

Although the workshop is free, places are limited due to space, so if you would like to attend, please let me know as soon as possible. E-mail: carolofdawesatbtinternet.com Some of the actors who have already booked a place I have worked with before but I am also looking forward to working with talent that is new to me. Hope to see you there.

Further information on both the workshop and the other festival events can be found here Women in Arts Festival

Information on my previous work can be found on Our Films page on this website under cast and crew.

Jo Cooklin’s performance as Leyla in our production of the play “Going Back” at the Kick Up the Arts festival in July was remembered by an actress who saw the show, who then recommended Jo for a role in a play she was appearing in “Two Sisters”. As a result Jo was cast. Cat’s Whiskers will be there to support her.
“Two Sisters” is one of nine plays in a programme of new writing at the Southwark Playhouse on Sunday 24th November. Little Pieces of Gold
Seven of the plays incidentally are written by women and six of them directed by women. Redresses the inbalance a bit!
