An Isle of Wight actor has received acclaim for her role in a play about autism and mental health.
Anna Constable performed at The Lowry in Salford in A Small Enclosed Room, a play exploring masking, autism, and mental health issues.
Written by neurodivergent artist Cian Binchy, the production explores how autistic people struggle with identity and societal adaptation.
Anna's portrayal of a ghostwriter, narrating the lead character's identity struggles, was praised, particularly her final monologue.
Anna said: "It was an amazing experience to travel to Manchester and perform at The Lowry. As well as performing, I also worked with Cian to develop ideas for the show."
Nick Llewellyn, artistic director at Access All Areas, said: "Collaborating with Anna was hugely exciting. We’re incredibly proud of her progress from our Performance Making Diploma at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and she made a real impact with audiences at The Lowry. We can’t wait to share her work with more audiences next year."
Wightlink has supported Anna with assisted travel since 2022, aiding her journey as she trains to become a professional actor, while championing the work of learning-disabled and autistic artists.
