Emily Swain’s professional theatre career spans work as an actor (all disciplines), to working in production (West End) and her debut as an assistant director in last year’s Brighton Passion Play – a role she is reprising for the 2012 production. Emily returned to her home industry two years ago after a 12-year sabbatical working in the charitable and corporate sector. This included three years working in human rights and seven years as an in-house journalist and communications manager. Emily would regard her defining childhood moment as hitchhiking across France and Spain – aged four- with her professional actor parents. A chip off the old block… Emily’s father – Mike Murray – appeared on the Radio Times’s front cover in his role as John the disciple, in the BBC’s own drama of the Passion Play, called ‘The Hill’, that was screened on Good Friday in the late 1950′s.
