Olivia J. Night
Actor/Dancer
They / them

They have a background in dance and physical theatre. Graduating from the MGA Academy of Performing Arts with a first in acting, they have gone on to perform a wide range of stage and film work across the UK.

Olivia grew up in Austria in a multilingual household, making them fluent in four languages. They are further skilled in Meisner technique, voice over work and classical text.

Whilst they have appeared in several feature films, since graduating, their passion lies with stage acting, most recently as ‘Margot’ one of the leads in ‘Wine escape’ an immersive dinner show, created by Cherry Tree productions.

Additionally, they have been touring across the country with a verbatim play called ‘Kindness- a legacy of the Holocaust’ written by Cate Hollis and Mark Wheeller, where they were appearing as ‘Mother’ as well as multiple other characters in a multi rolling manner.

Jupiter’s Ghost: In this production Olivia will be playing Jupiter 101, a replica of a human being, created in a laboratory, many years after Earths destruction.

Their advanced training in physical theatre and passion for dance is what initially drew them to the role and what allows them to explore the nuanced movement incorporated into Jupiter’s character.

Jack has most recently starred as Herschel in ‘The Strange Affair of Herschel Grynspan’, Rolf in ‘The Sound of Music’, and Daniel in ‘A-Typical Rainbow’. Jack has a deep passion for helping to devise and develop exciting new theatre pieces, especially projects that aim to tell unknown and untold stories.

Devoting his time and talents to numerous enthralling and revered film projects; including ‘Zofia’, ‘My Girl’ and many other award-winning short films, season three of HBO’s ‘Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler’, and the upcoming feature film ‘When the Withered Leaf Awakens’.

Jack is truly looking forward to be sharing the stage, for two shows at the celebrated Cockpit Theatre.

Jack’s sagacious interpretation of thought-provoking, meaningful and insightful characters, such as Jove Cretè, is sure to leave the audience longing for more.

Jack would also like to thank every single person involved with the creation of this phenomenal piece and hopes the audience has the same feeling of adulation as he did when he experienced the stupefying and surreal story of ‘Jupiter’s Ghost’ for the first time.
