Carole Boyer
Trained at RADA acted in theatre & TV for 20 years directed plays at RADA & Canterbury, and started writing them. Three of these are ‘The Diary of Rita Patel’, a BAFTA nominated television play, ‘Rorschach in Russia’, a theatre play and ‘Irretrievable Breakdown’ also for the theatre. All were great casts and stunning productions.
