S10 Ep52: Allyson Ava-Brown, Nell/Elizabeth in Coven


Listen Later

Allyson Ava-Brown is starring as Nell/Elizabeth in Coven.


Described as a "scorching" new musical, Coven is based on England’s most notorious witch trials. The show kicks off its run at the Kiln Theatre later this month for a limited two-month run. Coven is written by Rebecca Brewer and Daisy Chute, with the production directed by Miranda Cromwell.


Allyson most recently has a lengthy run as Angelica Schuyler in the West End production of Hamilton (Victoria Palace Theatre). Her other theatre credits include Glinda/Evillene in The Wiz (Birmingham Rep/West Yorkshire Playhouse) and Fantine in Les Miserables (Queens Theatre) as well as A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Lyric Hammersmith), 23.5 Hours (Park Theatre), The Quiet House (Birmingham Rep/Park Theatre), Etienne Sisters, Dangerous Lady and Crowning Glory (Stratford East), Snakes and Ladders (UK tour) and Julius Caesar, The Tempest, Antony and Cleopatra (RSC/Tour/West End). Allyson has also worked at the National Theatre, Park Theatre, Watford Palace Theatre, Yorkshire Playhouse, Liverpool Playhouse, Theatre503, Riverside Studios and Hackney Empire.


Recorded after a busy day of rehearsals, in this episode Allyson discusses all-things Coven. She also talks about her relationship with singing and musical theatre, why being in Les Miserables was a challenging time and the impact of her run in Hamilton.  


Coven runs at the Kiln Theatre 31st October - 20th December. Visit www.kilntheatre.com for info and tickets.
