ABOUT

Alex is a welsh actor, living in London working across stage, screen and independent theatre. 

Trained at École Philippe Gaulier Alex’s work is defined by a playful and spirited approach to acting - including playing Little Monk in Joe Wright’s take on Brecht’s Life of Galileo at the Young Vic, several shows with Kneehigh and recently playing Hook in Lee Lyford’s production of Peter Pan at the Sherman.  On TV she has appeared in Eastenders, Emmerdale and Casualty - along with award-winning BBC dramas A Very English Scandal and The Sixth Commandment and Disney+ comedy Extraordinary.   She’s represented by James Ireson at Narrow Road.
