During her
time in the business, Laura has amassed a large number of
acting credits. Starting with the low budget, critically
acclaimed 'Small Faces', made while she was still
studying, to blockbusters such as the international
success of 'A Knights Tale' where she became widely
recognised, Laura has demonstrated versatility in her
roles and refuses to be typecast. She has had bit parts
in movies ('Girl in Bed' with Leonardo de Caprio in 'Man
in the Iron Mask'), through leading roles ('Virtual
Sexuality', Coney Island Baby', 'Devils Gate'), and
ensemble casts ('Titus', 'He Knew He Was Right'). She can
float effortlessly between independent & big budget
films, and TV genres from fantasy, costume drama and
police shows.

Polly is a fed-up medical researcher, with a wild rock

(Antonia Bernath) and an over interested boss (Richard E
Grant). Polly has a chance to escape with a new job, but
then things start to go a little odd. The noises start
late at night. Polly is alone, she thinks she's losing
her mind - no one else seems to hear. Polly's sure she's
not crazy, but why won't the noises go away?
MISS
NIGHTINGALE
Laura takes the title role in this little-known
story of a critical time in the life of Florence
Nightingale, one of the most famous, but least
understood, figures in British history.
Florence Nightingale seemed to be about the only good
British thing to have come out of the Crimean war. The
Crimean campaign had been a farce of mismanagement that
needlessly exposed British servicemen to suffering,
disease and death. While recovering from the trauma of
what she had seen, Florence badgered the authorities into
allowing her to investigate the ineptitude of
Britains military commanders through a Royal
Commission. What she didnt anticipate was what that
investigation would reveal about her own shortcomings.
Her crisis and its eventual resolution lies
at the heart of this powerful drama.
