🎭 Holly Read-

Born in London, Holly grew up in the French countryside from the age of 7 until she graduated from University. Holly obtained a B.A (Hons) in History, Theory and Politics of Film and Theatre at the University of Poitiers.
Inspired by her studies and her love of stories, Holly eventually moved back to London to pursue a career in acting. Holly has been a member of The Actors Cove since Aug 2020. Deeply inspired by the Fantasy genre, Holly also enjoys studying fictional languages, notably Tolkien's Sindarin Elvish.

🎭 Lucinda Coyle-

Lucinda trained as an actor at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, graduating in 2019, but soon realised that there were stories she wanted to tell, that needed to be told, that simply had not yet been written. Having always been encouraged to ‘create your own roles, your own work’, Lucinda decided instead she wanted to create for everyone and anyone. Her most recent play, about to enter into its first workshop, is written entirely with no gender, race, age or sexuality defined characters. She is also working on her first non-fiction book which explores societies view on teenage mental health, as well as a play that explores similar themes.
