Bethany Sharp

For Frequency Theatre: ACTOR ~ DIRECTOR ~ PLAYWRIGHT ~ PRODUCER

Bethany co-founded Frequency Theatre in 2012 after creating the concept, inspired by a love of audio theatre and an ambition to make theatre which would be accessible to many. She chiefly produces and directs for Frequency Theatre, as well as facilitating audio drama workshops for a variety of participants.

When not working on Frequency Theatre, she works as a project producer and arts administrator.

Bethany is a playwright, and was shortlisted as a finalist for Out of Joint’s 2017 WiT Award.

As a playwright, she took part in Emberfly Theatre’s 24 Hour Challenge, by writing the fifteen minute play IF I COULD GO BACKWARDS IN TIME which was performed at the Churchill Theatre, directed by Ruth Rundle. In July 2017 Bethany worked with climate change scientists at Imperial College London and a group of actors, to write the play POWER, examining the effect of human activity on the environment.

You can also find Bethany performing character stand-up and comedy improvisation in various London venues.

Bethany holds a BA in Philosophy and Theology from the University of London.
