About Linda

I trained as an actor at Arts Ed (BA Acting) before training as a director at LAMDA (MA Directing). For the last ten years I have worked as an acting coach and acting tutor and directed at a number of drama schools such as RADA, Arts Ed, ALRA, E15, GFCA and Identity. I also ran foundation and a diploma courses for Birkbeck, University of London and have been a visiting lecturer at a number of university drama departments. I have been a member of the audition panel at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, RADA, Arts Ed and ALRA.

I have directed everything from Greek tragedy, Shakespeare and his contemporaries, restoration comedy to contemporary text and new writing. My experience include directing new writing at the Arcola, Southwark playhouse, The Old Red Lion, Soho Theatre and at the NT. I worked as assistant director on the award winning 5 Guys chillin, at The Globe Theatre as an Educational Practitioner running Shakespeare workshops and at the RSC as an assistant director. I have a PGCE (PCET) and an Enhanced DBS check.

I work from my home in Central London, a space in South London and also online.

* Scene study - work with a partner on a scene

understanding

"Linda was one of my Acting Tutors during my MA course at drama school. She was a very knowledgeable, sympathetic and intelligent teacher as well as being extremely supportive. Her classes were both enjoyable and challenging.
After drama school, I also worked with Linda on some new writing and enjoyed her clear collaborative direction and good humour.
One of my highlights at ALRA was studying (another) Miller’s ‘A View from the Bridge’ and a few years later was cast as Eddie Carbone - so, thank you Linda!”

Linda is an amazing teacher, and I highly recommend her to anyone pursuing acting. Years ago, she helped me choose and prepare my drama school audition pieces, and honestly, she taught me everything I needed to become a working actor. Her warmth, humour, and passion make every lesson a joy. I’m truly grateful for everything I learned from her.
