Lizzie Davidson
Acting · Born Feb 1, 1994 · Sutton, London, UK
A Drama scholar at Hurtwood, Lizzie studied Theatre, Media and English. She impressed her English teacher, Louise with her ‘acute intelligence and originality’ and ‘her amazing insight and wit’. She was always on stage here at the heart of many Hurtwood productions from our Christmas Musical extravaganza ‘Chicago’ to the many rock and pop concerts at the school. After Hurtwood Lizzie went straight into the industry and spent the next five years on the delights of ‘Shrek’s Adventure’ and the ‘London Dungeon Experience’. Her sister Kat had the skill and luck to have secured the attention of the BBC for her scriptwriting and set about turning what Lizzie calls the collective ‘narcissistic neurosis’ of the sisters and their mum, into the pilot of ‘Such Brave Girls’ which brings to comic life the tensions of single-parent family life, female neurosis and frustration, sisterhood and sibling rivalry. The fight to translate this into a commissioned series took three years and they were delighted when their ‘comedy hero’ Simon Bird came on board to direct.
