Nina Sosanya
(Range 20-35 )

Born in London, with a Nigerian father, Nina trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, and gained A-levels in Performing Arts.

Soon she was appearing as Desdemona in "Othello", Olivia in "Twelfth Night" and Hermia in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", along with the title role in "Educating Rita". Joining the RSC, she played in "Henry V", "The White Devil", "The Learned Ladies" and "Herbal Bed", before moving to the National Theatre for "Anthony & Cleopatra" and "House and Garden", followed by "The Marriage of Figaro" at the Royal Exchange.

On TV, Nina has appeared in "People Like Us", "Teachers", "The Jury", "Jonathan Creek", "Prime Suspect II", "The Debt" - and many others. Films include Richard Curtis's "Love Actually" and "Code 46" for Michael Winterbottom.

She has a range of accents including, of course, African - but also good Liverpool, broad Birmingham and black London.

In 2003 Nina appeared in "The Vortex" at the Donmar Warehouse, and as Rosalind in "As You Like It" for the RSC at Stratford (and USA tour).

2004 includes "Almost Nothing" for the Royal Court, Lars Von Trier's "Manderlay", and "A Box of Slice" for Chris Morris. In 2005, Nina starred as Bellino the castrato (!!) in the runaway success "Casanova" (BBC TV), and also played Margaret in the BBC's "Much Ado About Nothing".
