Anjana Vasan, the Singaporean-born actress now a prominent figure on the British stage, has been celebrated for her dynamic career, culminating in a prestigious Olivier Award win. This accolade, often likened to the Oscars of London theatre, was awarded for her remarkable performance as Stella in the revival of Tennessee Williams’s classic, A Streetcar Named Desire.

Beyond this success, Vasan has been cast in a new Netflix series adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. While details about her specific role were initially under wraps, it's been confirmed that she will take on the character of Mrs Gardiner. This latest venture adds to an impressive CV that already includes a BAFTA nomination for her role as punk-rock guitarist Amina in the sitcom We Are Lady Parts, as well as a memorable part in the acclaimed Black Mirror episode ‘Demon 79’. Vasan's work continues to showcase her versatility and cements her status as one of Britain’s most exciting and in-demand acting talents.
