A stage-led career across screen and theatre
Amanda Lawrence is a British actor whose documented work spans touring theatre, the National Theatre, Broadway, film and television. In a 2009 interview she recalled wanting to make plays at school and said she went to Bretton Hall College after school. That is her own account of training; a graduation year and qualification have not been independently verified. WhatsOnStage interview
Her physically inventive stage work included playing Charles Hawtrey and numerous other characters in Jiggery Pokery in 2009. She was in Marianne Elliott’s Angels in America at the National Theatre and its 2018 Broadway transfer; Playbill records the Angel and other roles in both parts. The National Theatre later cast her as Miss Prism in Max Webster’s The Importance of Being Earnest, staged from November 2024 to January 2025. National Theatre casting announcement
