Sara was born and raised in Edinburgh Scotland. After spending some time in England, she trained at The Central School of Speech and Drama in London, and made London her home. Her work has been diverse, ranging from classical tragic heroines like “Natalya Petrovna” in Turgenyev’s “Month in the Country” for the RSC; Gwyneth Paltrow’s overbearing sister in “Proof” for its London premiere; to comic characters like the louche “Stella” in the TV series Sugar Rush (2005).
Now based in Twickenham, she is separated from actor Aden Gillett, with whom she has 2 children.
