Amanda Reed

Abby Brewster

Born and bred in Brum, Amanda trained at Birmingham School of Acting relatively late in life, having followed two successful careers, as a teacher and as a financial consultant, before she finally stopped fighting it and threw in the towel to follow her dream of becoming an actress.

Her recent theatre work includes a UK Tour and West End run of Enjoy by Alan Bennett, at The Gielgud Theatre, with Alison Steadman and David Troughton; The History Boys (another Bennett play), UK Tour and West End run at Wyndham’s Theatre; Martha, Josie and the Chinese Elvis, UK Tour with Maureen Lipman, and Brief Encounter UK Tour. Her fringe work includes Muscles and Playhouse Creatures at The Landor Theatre, Wyrd Sisters at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Fine Tuning at The Crescent Theatre, Birmingham, and a guest voice-over in Lois Tucker’s one woman show Super Situation at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.

Films include: The Naked Lunch (Cool Hill), The Real Men in Black (New Moon), The Spotter (LFA), Hearing Things (Fat Cat), It’s the Little Things, and Above and Below (Fat Beehive).

TV…is next on the wish-list!
Amanda is thrilled to be here in Vienna, working with Vienna’s English Theatre as the festive season approaches and is glad she has taken her Mum’s advice and brought her good winter coat!
