Hazel’s involvement in drama began in Cambridge where she was a founding member of GROTS (Graduates Randomly Organised Theatre Society) and also worked with Combined Actors and Kings College Music Society, taking various roles - Modern dramas: The Hostage, Oh What A Lovely War, The Crucible, The Hole, The Ruling Class, and notably as Mrs Wickstead in Habeas Corpus; Outdoor productions: Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, and Dekker’ Shoemaker’s Holiday singing Madrigals from a punt on the river;

She kept up her interest as an expatriate in China, taking part in panto and singing in Welsh for the St David’s Day choir.

Once family commitments allowed, she joined Ghosts and has enjoyed taking minor roles in Canterbury Tales, 3 Musketeers, Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens, and Treasure Island. She also played a Land Rover in Simply the Best (!), and enjoys learning more about music while singing in Choral Concerts.
