Angela Short
This is Angela’s first performance with the Stirling Players. Originally from Liverpool, UK, Angela’s first stage appearance was as the back end of a horse in a school play. This production later proved to be the first of many as she has gone on to perform in over thirty productions, including appearing in Perestroika with Vanessa Redgrave, playing the healthiest looking prisoner of war ever seen. Since arriving in South Australia in 2010, Angela has worked with Therry and Tea Tree Players winning Best Actress in a lead role for Ruth Condomine in Blithe Spirit. She has also played Grusha Vashnadze in Brecht’s Caucasian Chalk Circle, Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers and Judith Bliss in Hay Fever. Of her favourite roles, Angela says she is torn between Portia in The Merchant of Venice and The Cleaner in this production of Collaborators!
