Antonina Lewis - Esther
In her own words...
I left school at 18 and went straight to Webber Douglas. I graduated in April 2003, and am writing a black comedy (pretty much what I am, I guess) in between what I really want to do. I have played the piano since I was four and get through good times and bad with british humour. I sing my heart out pretty much every day (mostly a closet singer but give me a mic and a band and there is no end) and dance manically when I'm low (after playing the mad Rose in 'Dancing at Lughnasa' at school and learning the catharsis of movement). Plays at Webber I was lucky with. I got to play welsh n' wild, a noel coward chic, a 30s film star and best of all, a Marguerite Duras heroine. To be brief, I had to watch 'Belle de Jour' and 'The Piano Teacher' for research. Say no more.
I write poetry when I'm walking in the Cotswolds, and then forget it all by the time I get back to the house. But some I've just caught in time.
I listen to far too many story tapes and one day will play Nina in 'The Seagull'. It got me to Webber and was given to me by a great actor mate. Chekhov has been lucky and on a par ever since.
I love Wagner and my favourite opera is Rigoletto because my father is the only guy I've ever been to the opera with and it means a great deal.
I am polish and regret not being able to speak to my grandmother and if I have time will learn it one day.
I'm in danger of being a dictionary of 'the profession'. Wish I was a bit more knowledgable about Politics and Science. Chucked them at early stage. Not that I don't love animals. Especially crocodiles and dogs.
I am a london girl at heart and a Cotswold girl in soul.
