Alumna Triumphs at Olivier Awards with Dinosaur World Live
East Sussex College Performing Arts alumna, Daisy Franks, has continued to thrive in the industry since leaving the College in 2016 and is now part of the cast of Dinosaur World Live which has won an Olivier Award in the Best Family Show category.
The Olivier Awards are recognised internationally as the highest honour in British theatre, equivalent to the BAFTA Awards for film and television.
In 2022, Daisy's talent was celebrated on the prestigious Olivier Awards stage, where she was honoured with the title of ‘Best Actor in a Supporting Role’ for her captivating performance in ‘The Life of Pi’. This accolade marked a significant milestone in her blossoming career.
Fast forward just two years, and Daisy finds herself once again in the spotlight, this time as part of the cast of the acclaimed production, Dinosaur World Live, which clinched the coveted Olivier Award for Best Family Show.
