Amy Hall


Amy Hall is an English actress.

Career

Hall took a BA in English Literature at the University of Wales, Swansea, before training and studying for an MA in Performance at the Drama Centre, London, where she appeared in productions of Macbeth and The Seagull, graduating in 2006.
Hall has performed on both stage and screen; her performance as the character Daphne for the 2007 run of Noël Coward's Present Laughter at the National Theatre, London received mixed reviews. The Guardian noted that the character was a reminder of "the lurking misogyny in Coward's writing", while Reuters considered her "a bit too gushy" and The Spectator called her "a simpering Marilyn clone of the 1950s". Reception for her role in Gary Owen's play We That Are Left was more favorable, as Hall received praise from The Guardian, the Evening Standard and the British Theatre Guide.
