Annabel Marlow, QAS Alumna of the Month

Congratulations to QAS 'alumna of the month' Annabel Marlow who will be playing the principal role of 'Dot' in The Wizard of Oz at the Watermill Theatre throughout November and December.

Annabel left Queen Anne’s in 2017 and has since trained as an actor at LAMDA, graduated with First Class Hons from the University of Leeds and just finished an MA from Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Annabel says she is very grateful for the support that the school gave her with wanting a career in the arts.  Queen Anne’s offered her a music scholarship and a drama scholarship when she applied to the school, which allowed her to have multiple music lessons and be involved in many other extra-curricular activities. She took LAMDA classes which she says were invaluable to her drama school auditions since leaving school. During her time at Queen Anne's, Annabel was one of 4 directors for the all student production of Annie. She was also awarded the Sixth Form Scholarship.

Annabel’s brother, Toby, wrote the award-winning musical Six and Annabel was in the premiere of the original show in Edinburgh where she played Katherine Howard. Annabel was 18 years old when she played Katherine Howard, making her the youngest actress to ever perform in Six, as well as the youngest principal actress to play the role.

Annabel is also a Musical Comedian and was awarded 3^rd place in the UK Musical Comedy Awards 2023. Her one-person show ‘Annabel Marlow... is this okay??’ premiered at the Pleasance Courtyard at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023, presented by Stamptown.

We wish her every success in The Wizard of Oz.
