About me

Hey there!
I'm Kira! I'm an actor, writer, and director based in Glasgow. I started acting when I was 14, on a whim and have loved it ever since!
Writing is a new interest for me, having written a short play last year, and currently working on a few more! I enjoy having a way to make sure that my thoughts are heard, as well as working on new queer representation.
For directing, most recently, I assisted on Hamlet at the Cottiers Theatre!

Upcoming:

- 'The Tempest' as Caliban at Garnethill Park
- 'To have or to hold' as Penny. A new piece of writing which will be premiering in Glasgow later this year
- Short Film filming later this year.
