Louise Brealey Producing
In 2012 Brealey produced, co-wrote and co-starred in The Charles Dickens Show, a children’s comedy drama for BBC 2 starring Jeff Rawle, Rupert Graves, Neil Dudgeon, Honeysuckle Weeks, Sam Kelly, Geoffrey Streatfeild, Fiona Button and Mariah Gale.
Louise Brealey Screen
Brealey made her TV debut as Nurse Roxanne Bird in two series of BBC drama Casualty before playing Judy Smallweed in Bleak House. Terry Wogan took Judy and her snaggle-toothed grandfather Smallweed (Phil Davis) to heart, regaling Radio 2 listeners with regular renditions of Davis’ catchphrase “Shake me up, Judy!”. Brealey followed Bleak House with a comic turn as Anorak, Alistair MacGowan’s black-bobbed sidekick, in comedy drama Mayo, described by The Hollywood Reporter as “Agatha Christie does Moonlighting”.
Brealey plays pathologist Molly Hooper in all four series of Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’s television drama, Sherlock.
She is often asked to work in accents, recently playing a doughty Yorkshire doctor in Ripper Street, a Cockney ne’er-do-well in Law & Order: UK, a broken Geordie widow in Inspector George Gently and a ball-breaking Edinburgh academic in Clique.
Louise Brealey Stage
Brealey has made her name as an accomplished stage actress. Her stage debut was at London’s Royal Court in 2001 as 14-year-old Sophie in Max Stafford-Clark’s production of Judy Upton’s Sliding With Suzanne . The Daily Telegraph called her performance “a perfect poignant study of adolescence”.
Her portrayal of child prodigy Thomasina in the Bristol Old Vic production of Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia in 2005 was described as “excellent” by The Mail on Sunday, with The Daily Telegraph saying that “the evening belongs to Loo Brealey’s Thomasina”.
Brealey worked twice with Sir Peter Hall. First in 2007 on Simon Gray’s Little Nell, in which she played the title role opposite Michael Pennington and Tim Pigott-Smith. Based on The Invisible Woman, Claire Tomalin’s award-winning biography of Charles Dickens’s mistress Ellen Ternan, Little Nell followed Ternan’s story from 17 to 44 years of age. Critics described Brealey’s work as “excellent” (The Daily Mail), “impressive” (The Stage), “highly compelling” (The Independent) and “astounding” (British Theatre Guide). The following year, Hall cast her as Sonya in his critically acclaimed Uncle Vanya, the inaugural production at London’s Rose Theatre. The Telegraph called hers “a name to watch” and The Independent compared her to Joan Fontaine in Rebecca. The Spectator said: “Brealey uncovers the pathetic poetry beneath the indolent superficialities. Her big disadvantage is that she’s too attractive for ‘plain’ Sonya, but she disguises this by suggesting a lack of sexual allure with awkward giggles, squirrelly movements and a stupefied beaming naivety. All brilliantly done…”
In 2011 Brealey was the sex-mad, short-frocked daughter of Julian Barratt and Doon Mackichan at the Young Vic in Richard Jones’s Government Inspector. She next played three lead roles – Cassandra, Andromache and Helen of Troy – in Caroline Bird’s sold-out production of The Trojan Women at London’s Gate Theatre. The Times called her performances “electrifying” and The Guardian said she “pulled off a remarkable treble”. Brealey talked about the roles in the Evening Standard and wrote a piece for The Times about the experience of going naked on stage, which went viral.
In February 2014 she starred as Julie in August Strindberg’s Miss Julie at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow.
More recently she won Best Actress at the Manchester Theatre Awards for her role as Marianne in Constellations, directed by Michael Longhurst and played the lead alongside Anne Marie Duff in Marianne Elliott’s Husbands and Sons at the National Theatre.
Louise Brealey Narrator
Brealey is the narrator of Caitlin Moran’s How to Build a Girl and its sequel How to Be Famous and Kate Mosse’s Number One Bestseller Labyrinth . She was Megan in the audiobook edition of The Girl on The Train by Paula Hawkins, which won the 2016 Audie Award for Audiobook of the Year.
Louise Brealey Writing
Brealey has written on cinema, art and music since her teens, contributing reviews and features for magazines including Premiere UK, Empire, SKY, The Face, Neon, Another and Total Film. She is the editor of Anarchy and Alchemy: The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky (Creation Books, 2007). Until April 2009, Brealey was the deputy editor of Wonderland magazine. A freelance Associate Producer, she has written documentary pitches for BBC Arts. In 2013 her first play Pope Joan[5] was performed by the National Youth Theatre. Her monologueGo Back To Where You Came From was performed as part of Paines Plough Theatre’s Come To Where I’m From project in 2018.

Louise Brealey Interview
Interview with Louise Brealey
Adopted from: bbc.co.uk
How was it being back on set?
I was just really glad to be back in the fold and part of the show again. It’s an amazing series and I think in terms of Molly it’s hard to say much without giving things away but there are some really beautiful moments which I’m really excited about.
What was it like being back after such a long break?
It’s weird because when you start after a couple of years gap you turn up at the first scene and some years I’ve come back and gone “oh god…, who am I, who is she, who is she”? This year we had a big group scene on my first scene back – I didn’t even give her a thought, I just opened my mouth and though I haven’t thought about the character at all you don’t have to after all these years. She’s just there somewhere loafing about with the bone saw.
How would you describe series four?
Sad. Really sad. But I’m also really excited about series four and I think it might be the best one. There are some nasty creatures in series four and some of the magic that made you fall in love with the show right at the start.
