Catrin Aaron is a Welsh actress who trained at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. She is an associate for Theatr Clwyd and has been part of the Globe Ensemble at Shakespeare's Globe since 2018.[1][2] She lives in London.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Aaron was born and raised in Rhyl, Clwyd, where she attended Ysgol Bryn Hedydd and Rhyl High School.[3] As a child, she often visited Theatr Clwyd with her mother.[3]

Career

[edit]

In 2002, Aaron made her professional debut in Silas Marner at Theatr Clwyd.[4] Since then, she has returned to Clwyd often, where she rose to fame as LV in The Rise and Fall of Little Voice in 2017. Wales Arts Review wrote of her performance: "Aaron’s beautiful renditions of classic songs were indistinguishable from the originals, the most moving being her performance of Edith Piaf’s ‘Non, je ne regrette rien’."[5]

In 2015, Aaron was nominated for Best Female Performance in the English Language by the Welsh Theatre Awards for her role as The Manager in Contractions at the Chapter Arts Centre.[6] The accolade was ultimately awarded to her Contractions co-star Sara Lloyd-Gregory, who played Emma.[7]

Aaron is also a familiar face at Shakespeare's Globe, where she made her debut in the double-bill Hamlet and As You Like It, as Horatio and Phebe / Corin respectively.[8] Her most recent performance there was in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, the Globe's indoor theatre, as the Widow in All's Well That Ends Well.[9]
