Beth Organ (She/Her)
Bridging the North/South divide, Beth is a proud northerner and naturalised Londoner est. 2010. She trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and since graduating hasn’t been in anything you would have seen unless you caught the back of her head on Silent Witness that one time. Her work ranges from brand new musical theatre to Shakespeare, short film, voice-over, research & development, and devised work, with particular interest in theatre as a platform for political debate ‘cos shouting into the void just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Most recently, Beth toured as Tess in Hotbuckle Theatre Company’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles, provided the voice for shipboard-computer ‘SARA’ in VR game Space Salvage, performed notorious one-actor play White Rabbit Red Rabbit, and joined the cast of satirical new work She Said What?! for its run at the Hope Theatre. During the pandemic Beth worked as a simulated patient, training medical students in online tutorials, and was commissioned to design and deliver online drama courses for London residents with refugee status, which have since transitioned to in-person teaching.
Beth is a proven Magic-Eye champion, she can greet you in high-elven, and her other interests include long walks, sweet cocktails and smashing the patriarchy. She will be touring again this summer in Great Expectations.
