Sydney Stevenson

Sydney is an actor, writer and director based in West London. She comes from acting stock – it was in her blood and she didn’t stand a chance!

Since graduating from ArtsEd she has starred in “Misfits” (E4/Clarkenwell), “My Family” (DLT/BBC), “Doctors” (BBC), “Me and Mrs Jones” (BBC) and “Red Dwarf” (Dave/GrantNaylor).

Her theatre works includes; “The Men from the Ministry” (White Bear Theatre), “Next Door – an awkward love story” (Tabard Theatre) and “Relatively Speaking” (The Mill at Sonning). Sydney played ‘Fairy Petit Pois’ and ‘The Slave of the Ring’ in Welwyn Garden City’s Panto, for two years running. She also had audience’s crying with laughter in Welwyn’s adult Panto as the ‘Sh*tfaced Fairy’ (no actual alcohol was consumed for that performance!). This summer she was Assistant Director for Chichester Festival Theatre’s production of "The Promise”.

Sydney has starred in several commercials including; Samsung’s ‘Flipper’ advert, Taylor’s Coffee, Uber’s Christmas Tips advert and Nested Estate Agents.

Sydney’s first penned play, “Next Door – An Awkward Love Story” was produced at the Tabard Theatre in 2015 by NB Productions. Her second play “Bubonic” was workshopped with ATG and the rehearsed reading was directed by Dominic Shaw, with the cast including Ron Cook, Dianne Pilkington, Robert Lindsay and herself. “Bubonic” was also long listed for the Papatango prize 2017. Her short piece “Men and Women” was the winner of the ‘Voices from Home’ competition under ‘Broken Silence Theatre’ and was performed at the Old Red Lion Theatre.

Sydney’s screenplay “Thicker Than Water” was recently one of four selected for UKTV/The Female Pilot Club’s writing initiative which resulted in a development deal with a leading production company and fingers crossed will result in it coming to our screens…!
