So Kellie, what is your favourite…..

TV Programme?
Breaking Bad and I also love documentaries.

Place to hang out in London?
I love South Bank, Peckham Rye. An afternoon in the cinema – Shortwave over in London Bridge hits the spot. Borough Market for a cheeky free sample and also the river.

Cocktail?
A very spicy Bloody Mary!

Saying/Quote?
"I went up for that"

Play/Musical that you have seen?
Home at the National Theatre’s Shed blew me away – a gritty piece of drama with song & beat boxer Grace Savage.

Theatre to perform in?
All of them, variety is the spice of life. I love the Royal Court, National Theatre, Soho Theatre and Peckham Local.

Theatre to visit?
The Theatre Royal Haymarket, it’s a beautiful theatre and I love performing here! We close in One Man, Two Guvnors on 1st March so you only have few weeks left to come and see us!


The National Theatre’s smash-hit comedy One Man, Two Guvnors will complete its West End run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket on 1 March 2014, as previously announced, prior to a third UK and Ireland tour beginning in May 2014.
