Naomi was somehow destined for the stage, but she took a lot of persuading. Once she stood as a reluctant angel in her school's nativity play, then later decided it might be a good idea to participate in Drama GCSE to improve her confidence. Now, she can be seen performing in Shakespeare's comedies, supporting the ideas explored in new writing and being a favourite choice of children's theatre directors.
