Sasha Wilson graduated from LAMDA in 2014.
She is an award-winning playwright and deviser, and has only just finished a run of her second play Bury The Hatchet at the Hope Theatre. The show is a three-person actor-muso true crime romp about the infamous American murderess Lizzie Borden in which she sang and played the mandolin. Bury The Hatchet just won the “People’s Choice” Award at Vault Festival 2018 and has been nominated for "Best Ensemble" by the Off West End Awards. Sasha recently played Juliet in Romeo and Juliet at Southwest Shakespeare Company. "Wilson's dialogue may be Elizabethan but the tone and rhythm are decidedly modern. The end result is not only playful, the delivery seems to lose its historic quality and comes across as timeless." - David Appleford, Phoenix, AZ Wilson grew up speaking Bulgarian at home with her family. She also speaks Russian, having lived in St. Petersburg for six months, as well as Spanish, French and German. She is also a classically trained Alto who enjoys singing folk and bluegrass music. |
