Meet Deborah McAndrew, Corrie's Angie Freeman
Deborah McAndrew is probably best known to us Coronation Street fans as Angie Freeman, the role she played on the show from 1990 to 1998.
Since leaving Coronation Street, Deborah has gone to become a successful playwright and co-founder of the Claybody Theatre Company.
And she will join the Staffordshire Business Festival as a headline speaker next month, on Tuesday November 7th.
Deborah began her acting career on the cobbles of Coronation Street where she played Weatherfield regular, Angie Freeman, in the early 1990s. In the years following ‘Corrie’ Deborah enjoyed a varied career in the theatre and television, playing everything from Shakespeare to Music Hall, and has appeared in countless dramas for BBC Radio.
Deborah’s performed and published plays include original work and adaptations of classic novels and foreign language plays for various theatres and companies. Her moving WW1 drama An August Bank Holiday Lark (for Northern Broadsides and New Vic Theatre) won both the UK Theatre Award and Manchester Theatre Award for Best New Play 2014.
Upcoming work includes Dirty Laundry – a new play for Claybody Theatre, which will be performed on the Spode Works site in Stoke in October 2017; a new adaptation of A Christmas Carol for Hull Truck Theatre, opening December 2017; a new adaptation of Hard Times for Northern Broadsides, touring in Spring 2018. Deborah is also the writer on the Chester Mystery Plays 2018.
