Read MoreDonna Gray is an actor and writer based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. She began her career as a dancer on TV shows, KMKY with Alan Partridge, TOTP, BBC's Pride and Prejudice and played comedy cameo roles on Harry Enfield & Chums, Canned Carrot and TFI Friday. Forming her own dance company X-Directory, she toured with Bradley Walsh, Bobby Davro, Jim Davidson and Harry Hill before hanging up her shoes to bring up her children.
Donna started Dance Attic Productions in 1992, soon to become The Essential Agency, a theatrical agency casting performers in Westend Musicals, regulars for TOTPs and TV presenters for Milkshake and The Girly Show.
Donna's writing career began with ‘High Kicks’ - The Essential Guide to Working as a Dancer published by A & C Black Ltd (now Bloomsbury). She then went on to be a freelance article/feature writer for House Beautiful, 25 Beautiful Homes, Build It, Real Homes, Move or Improve Magazine. She then went on to study an MA in acting at Drama Centre - University of the Arts London.
Donna wrote and performed her first one-woman play 'Pamela’s Permanent Wave' in 2014 marking it's debut at Brighton Fringe before being awarded Arts Council funding to develop it into a three-hander and rewriting it as part of an all female collaboration.
The renamed show 'Pamela’s Palace' was produced by Interactive Theatre International and went on to gain critical acclaim and sell out audiences at Edinburgh Fringe 2018/19, Adelaide Fringe 2019 and MICF 2019, where it received a Green Room Award nomination. The much-anticipated UK dates in 2020 were cancelled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Donna is currently developing a script for her studio sitcom Foiled.
