Up and coming thespian Rachel Redford is set to thrive in the theatre scene after winning the coveted role of Alice in Patrick Marber's play Closer at the Donmar Warehouse.

Directed by David Leveaux, the play will run from February until April in 2015. This follows a move from her onstage performance in Russell Bolam's direction of Ghost From A Perfect Place, that ran throughout September and October. Graduating from RADA in 2013, Redford has already bagged roles in a number of films, including Testament of Youth and The Riot Club. Turning her hand to contemporary as well as Shakespearean roles, Redford is fast proving she's more than a one trick pony.
