Described as “one of the greatest Britsh actresses of recent decades” Celia Imrie began her prolific career in the early 1970s. Her comic timing and sympathetic performances have made her a fixture on our screens, where she is known for her television performances in Sparkhouse, Acorn Antiques, Mr Harvey Lights A Candle and Kingdom ‐ and, on film, in Calendar Girls, Bridget Jones’s Diary and St Trinian’s. On stage she has performed extensively at the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company and won an Olivier Award for her performance in Trevor Nunn’s Acorn Antiques the Musical.
