Biography

Kay grew up in Ayrshire and attended Glasgow University. She moved to London in 2002, and in 2006, studied drama at City Literary Institute in Covent Garden and stage combat with BASSC.[3] She is active within Britain's pagan community.[4]

Career

Her first audition was for Forest of the Damned. Her most recent appearances include the short films Record & Erase and Short Lease, and the horror movie Colour from the Dark[5] (filmed in Italy and based upon HP Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space"), starring Debbie Rochon.[6]

She also featured in Alex de Campi's music video for "Those Rules" by The Schema,[7] journalist Rhodri Marsden's experiment in using the internet to attempt pop success.

During October/November 2010, she directed a production of "Marlowe", a dramatisation of the life of Christopher Marlowe,[8] for the Broken Biscuit Theatre company; it was staged at the Hot Tap Theatre, in New Cross, south London.
