Libby Waite
- Actress
Born in Newport, Wales, Libby (Elizabeth) Waite joined the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain before studying acting at the Oxford School of Drama. On leaving in 2021, Libby played the character of Mia an over-protective sister in the 80's-style horror movie 'School Hall Slaughter'. In the meantime she's appeared in the short film 'Wheels', written by Anthony Bunko and produced by 'It's My Shout', an arts project designed to support budding young Welsh performers. On stage she has given a beautifully affectionate performance as Gertrude - Queen of Denmark in 'Hamlet'. In contrast Libby delivered a strong willed portrayal of leading female character Kelly in a theatre production of 'Decade'. The story line annually revisits the melancholy and reflective life of a new mother who has lost her husband in the September 11th terrorist attacks on New York. Outside of acting Libby has been proud to support Cancer Research UK by helping to launch their 'Race For Life at Home" initiative in Wales in 2020. As of 2022 she is single and lives in South Wales.
