Janie Dee

Janie Dee is an award-winning British actress, singer and musical theatre performer, characterised by her extraordinary versatility in acclaimed work on stage, film, television and radio.

'The show’s glory is Janie Dee. She plays all the layers simultaneously: incredulous and wistful, chilly and carnal. Is she the best actor in Britain? Could be.'
David Jays, Sunday Times Culture

'Is there a more enchanting actress on the British stage than Janie Dee? She combines good nature, good humour, an unforced charm and un-selfconscious sensuality with a sense of mischief.'

Next: A Role To Die For - Barn Theatre, Cirencester 30 January - 15 March 2025

Deborah has a problem. She’s responsible for casting the most famous role in Hollywood but the actor she chooses suddenly withdraws the day before the announcement. As the film starts shooting straight away, time is short to find a replacement. Her cousin wants to sell out, her son insists on going woke, and all she yearns for is the warm glow of Sean Connery’s unbeatable charm.

A Role to Die For is a rip-roaring, wickedly funny comedy full of secret agents, secret agreements and secret family feuds. Directed by 2024 Olivier Award winning Derek Bond, and produced in association with Simon Friend and Bob & Co.

The perfect tonic for the January blues.
