Notes

Having decided to hone her acting skills by appearing in regional theatre, Zoe performed her second professional role on stage in Creditors, as part of Manchester's 69 Theatre Company.

Presented as a late-evening show, Creditors was performed immediately after the company's revival of A Midsummer Night's Dream, in which Zoe had made her professional stage debut.

The following year, Zoe appeared in Pictures in a Bath of Acid, a play about the author of Creditors, August Strindberg.

Press coverage

'Zoe Wanamaker's Tealk [...] was a splendidly modulated creation: flirtatious, sentimental, imperious, superbly angry in defeat and finally heartbroken' - The Stage
