In our profile series, Tell Us In Ten, we ask cast members and creatives of top London shows to tell us all about themselves in just 10 questions. From how they got their start in the industry to their favourite shows, we want to know everything.
This time we’re chatting to Cash Holland who will be playing Jane Bingley in Miss Bennet: Christmas At Pemberley – a smart, funny and emotionally incisive play which gives Jane Austen‘s most overlooked heroine the story she was never allowed to have.
