  "description": "Sasha was born in Italy and grew up in Sussex. She read English Literature at Durham university before going on to train at the Drama Studio London.\n\nShe is delighted to be performing Fallen Angels at Vienna’s English Theatre. During the Noël Coward centenary celebrations in the UK she appeared as Priscilla in the rediscovered early hit The Young Idea at Chester Gateway, and more recently played Amanda in Private Lives at Margate Theatre Royal.\n\nOther theatre includes Lady Windermere’s Fan at Chichester Festival Theatre; Duet For One for Gateway Theatre Company; The Winter’s Tale in the rare art deco Spiegeltent for Creation Theatre Company in Oxford; Much Ado About Nothing for Albion Shakespeare Company; Bergman’s Scenes From a Marriage for SCT Company; the UK premiere of Equiano in London and on tour; and Dear Brutus at the well-known King’s Head pub theatre.\n\nThis Christmas Sasha appeared on BBC1 as British agent Naomi Russell in Julian Fellowes Investigates: The Case of the Earl of Erroll, a re-examination of the notorious Happy Valley scandal set in Kenya (but, sadly, filmed in Surrey!) She played Fergie in the TV movie People’s Princess and the tsunami survivor Anna Beyerinck in Channel 4’s feature length drama-documentary Krakatoa. Other TV appearances include A Lump in My Throat (BBC2); Gobble (BBC Screen One); and England, My England (Channel 4).\n\nSasha first visited Vienna in 1996 while touring Twelfth Night with the Royal Shakespeare Company and is thrilled to be back in this beautiful city.",
