LOUISE BREALEY PRODUCE

In 2012 Brealey produced, co-wrote and co-starred in The Charles Dickens Show, a children’s comedy-drama for BBC 2 starring Jeff Rawle, Rupert Graves, Neil Dudgeon, Honeysuckle Weeks, Sam Kelly, Geoffrey Streatfeild, Fiona Button and Mariah Gale.

SCREEN LOUISE BREALEY

Brealey made her television debut as nurse Roxanne Bird in two BBC drama series Casualty before playing Judy Smallweed in Bleak House. Terry Wogan took Judy and her grandfather Smallweed (Phil Davis) to heart, regaling Radio 2 listeners with regular renditions of Davis’ catchphrase “Shake me up, Judy!”. Brealey followed Bleak House with a comedic turn as Anorak, Alistair MacGowan’s dark-haired sidekick, in the comedy-drama Mayo, described by The Hollywood Reporter as “Agatha Christie does Moonlighting.”

Brealey plays pathologist Molly Hooper in all four series of Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ TV drama Sherlock.

He’s often asked to work with accents, most recently playing a vicious Yorkshire doctor in Ripper Street, a ne’er-do-well Cockney in Law & Order: UK, a broken Geordie widow in Inspector George Gently, and an academic of Edinburgh breaking the ball. in Click.

LOUISE BREALEY SCENE

Brealey made a name for herself as an accomplished stage actress. She made her stage debut at London’s Royal Court in 2001 as 14-year-old Sophie in Max Stafford-Clark’s production of Judy Upton’s Sliding With Suzanne. The Daily Telegraph called her performance “the perfect poignant study of adolescence”.

 

Her portrayal of child prodigy Thomasina in Tom Stoppard’s 2005 Bristol Old Vic production of Arcadia was described as ‘excellent’ by The Mail on Sunday, with the Daily Telegraph saying ‘the evening belongs to Loo Brealey’s Thomasina’ .

Brealey worked twice with Sir Peter Hall. First in 2007 on Simon Gray’s Little Nell, in which she played the title role opposite Michael Pennington and Tim Pigott-Smith. Based on The Invisible Woman, Claire Tomalin’s award-winning biography of Charles Dickens’ mistress Ellen Ternan, Little Nell followed Ternan’s story from age 17 to 44. Critics have described Brealey’s work as “excellent” (The Daily Mail), “impressive” (The Stage), “very compelling” (The Independent) and “astounding” (British Theater Guide). The following year, Hall cast her as Sonya in his critically acclaimed Uncle Vanya, the inaugural production at London’s Rose Theatre. The Telegraph called hers ‘a name to watch’ and The Independent compared her to Joan Fontaine in Rebecca. The viewer said: “Brealey discovers pathetic poetry beneath indolent superficialities. Her big downside is that she’s too attractive for “ordinary” Sonya, but she disguises this by suggesting a lack of sexual attractiveness with goofy laughs, squirrel-like movements, and giddy, beaming naivety. Everything is brilliantly done…”

 

In 2011, Brealey was the sex-crazed, short-dressed daughter of Julian Barratt and Doon Mackichan at Richard Jones’ Government Inspector Young Vic. She went on to play three lead roles – Cassandra, Andromache and Helen of Troy – in Caroline Bird’s sold-out production of The Trojan Women at the Gate Theater in London. The Times called her performance “electrifying” and The Guardian said she “achieved a remarkable hat-trick”. Brealey spoke about roles on the Evening Standard and wrote an article for The Times about the experience of going naked on stage, which went viral.

In February 2014 she played the role of Julie in Miss Julie by August Strindberg at the Citizens Theater in Glasgow.

Most recently she won Best Actress at the Manchester Theater Awards for her role as Marianne in Constellations, directed by Michael Longhurst and starred opposite Anne Marie Duff in Marianne Elliott’s Husbands and Sons at the National Theater.

LOUISE BREALEY NARRATOR

Brealey is the narrator of Caitlin Moran’s How to Build a Girl and its sequel How to Be Famous and Kate Mosse’s Number One Bestseller Labyrinth. She was Megan in the audiobook edition of The Girl on The Train by Paula Hawkins, which won the 2016 Audie Award for Audiobook of the Year.

LOUISE BREALEY WRITES

Brealey has written about film, art and music since his teens, contributing reviews and articles for magazines including Premiere UK, Empire, SKY, The Face, Neon, Another and Total Film. She is the editor of Anarchy and Alchemy: The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky (Creation Books, 2007). Until April 2009, Brealey was associate editor of Wonderland magazine. An independent associate producer, she has written documentary pitches for BBC Arts. In 2013, his first play Pope Joan [5] was performed by the National Youth Theatre. His monologue Go Back To Where You Came From was performed as part of Paines Plow Theater’s Come To Where I’m From project in 2018.

INTERVIEW WITH LOUISE BREALEY

INTERVIEW WITH LOUISE BREALEY

Adopted from: bbc.co.uk

How was it back on set?

I was just really happy to be back in the fold and to be part of the show again. It’s an amazing show and I think about Molly it’s hard to say much without giving things away, but there are some really beautiful moments that I’m really excited about.

How was it to be back after such a long break?

It’s weird because when you start after a few years apart, you show up at the first scene and a couple of years I came back and went ‘oh my God…, who am I, who is she, who is she”? This year we had a big group scene in my first scene – I didn’t even think about him, I just opened my mouth and even though I didn’t think about the character at all, you’re not not have to after all this years. She’s just hanging out there somewhere with the bone saw.

How would you describe the fourth series?

Sad. Very sad. But I’m also very excited about the fourth series and I think it may be the best. There are wicked creatures in series four and some of the magic that made you fall in love with the series
