Laura May Price [she/her] is a queer actress, writer, director and the founder and lead creative of Thalia Arts company. 

After training at Identity School of Acting, Laura has worked mostly in fringe theatre and short screen projects. As a writer, and with Thalia Arts, she wrote and performed in two runs of her debut play, Dinner Theatre; first at the Clapham Fringe, and then with OVO at the Maltings Theatre in St Albans. She then returned to OVO and their Roman Theatre for an R&D and sharing of her new, queer adaptation of Emma by Jane Austen. She has then produced, acted in and written for various scratch nights with the company, focusing primarily on developing her two new plays: ‘Eminent Charlestonians’, which explores the unconventional lives and loves of the Bloomsbury Group, and ‘How They Met Themselves’ an experiment in chronology following four Cambridge post-grad students. She has also written and directed a period-comedy short which is in the editing room currently and a modern short which is due to be filmed this year. She has directed an extract of ‘Eminent Charlestonians’ for a scratch night last December and a Tudor play, ‘Pretty Maids’ in March.
