Sarah Cameron-West
Sarah Cameron-West studied at Durham University on the Vice Chancellor Scholarship for the Arts and went on to train at the Drama Centre London where she received a Distinction in her MA Acting.
Since graduating, Sarah has set up two production companies to champion new writing. Her latest project has been her one woman show KAREN which debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023 and after rave reviews received a transfer to London’s The Other Palace, Birmingham’s Old Joint Stock and back to Edinburgh as part of the Underbelly’s full 2024 season. All of which were sell out runs with Cameron-West being hailed as “the female Peep Show” and a “burgeoning comedy genius”.
KAREN is now set to transfer to the Seven Dials Playhouse in November and return to the Other Palace in 2025. Sarah has also featured in Amazon Prime’s ANANSI BOYS by Neil Gaimon and received a nomination for Best Actor in the Hewitt Bryce Film Festival for her lead role in BAFTA winner Josie Copeland’s short film WALK HOME.
