Sarah Barrowman - narrator and collaborative artist
Sarah originally trained (and worked) as an archaeologist, but has now turned her attention to acting with theatrical credits including roles in ‘Fox Finder', ‘Rumours’, ‘Poking the Bear’, and ’These Trees are Made of Blood'. Sarah has also established herself as a highly regarded cabaret artist and model. Away from performance life, Sarah can be found wearing a thimble in her guise of milliner for her own label, Miss Ava’s Millinery, or indulging in her love of tea and cake. |
