In April 2011, she played Manchester United's club secretary, Alma George, in the BBC television drama, United which centred on the Munich air disaster.

In 2009, she appeared in a short film "War School", raising awareness on the use of child soldiers.

She has featured in The Diary of Anne Frank and Collision.

She has performed in numerous plays associated with the In-yer-face theatre movement, including Blasted and Shopping and Fucking, and was invited to speak on the subject at the University of the West of England's 2002 In-Yer-Face?: British Drama in the 1990s conference.
