Katie Giles
Biography
Katie Giles is a second year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA.
Having had a minor diversion into the "acid trip" of The Case of the Film Genre Killer in 2014 with ComedySoc, Katie then went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible once joining H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015 with Ben Walker, having been told by Joe Hand their esteemed director that "It's the society of bastards, cripples and broken things." I wonder now whether that was an insult to ourselves, but I digress. She then had a taste of being a Victorian lady, able to muck around at the back with little power and little responsibility besides bobbing and repeating her status, and got hooked on the illusion of friends. Having earned herself the title of "Biggest Fan" (because what is life without a few puns on being a SCA?) and taking a quick trip to Fairyland, AKA Harrogate with the Harrogate run of Iolanthe, she is now throwing herself fully into the role of Grumpiest Russian Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, Fiddler on the Roof.
Major Achievements
- Has managed so far to convince people in every show she's been in that she's dating Ben Walker. She is not.
- Accidental brutal truths. (Sorry Joe.)
- Creating a veritable hurricane with one lowly hand fan during H.M.S. Pinafore
- Creating an alto force of nature with Rhona and Emma, to name but a few. We must head an alto revolution.
- Bribing fellow cast members to love her with cake. It worked. And didn't kill them. They even enjoyed it. Rhona had three, and therefore I maintain that they can't have been so bad.
- Again, biggest LOpSoc whore going.
- Shakespeare. Just. Shakespeare. Never get her talking about Shakespeare. Fifteen minute rants about Victoriana Hamlet will happen.
