Lainie Hart

Lady Macbeth

Lainie felt very fortunate to be given the opportunity to speak the speech, “I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,” in Nov-Dec 2004, and in 2025 gets to revel in “But screw your courage to the sticking place/And we’ll not fail.”  Lainie is grateful to be working again with Jordan Best after recently appearing in Echo Theatre’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, in Bombshells, and earlier in King Lear.

​

Lainie recently directed Away for Canberra REP, performed in The Street Theatre’s production of This Rough Magic, Chaika Theatre’s productions of The Children and Three Tall Women, Everyman’s seasons of The Importance of Being Earnest, and Free Rain’s Steel Magnolias. Prior to that, credits include God of Carnage for Echo, and Canberra Repertory’s production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. She worked on Lakespeare's live -streamed Rockspeare Richard III, in the live-streamed play reading of Leopoldville with the Canberra Theatre Centre, and was a part of The Q’s Stripped program. Lainie worked with The Street Theatre on creative development projects for First Seen - New Works in Progress, on Lakespeare's Sounds of Shakespeare and their summer season of Twelfth Night. Lainie toured Victoria with Pigeonhole theatre’s Playhouse Creatures.

 

Lainie spent 18 months completing further study and training where she graduated from the full-time program at 16th Street Actor’s Studio in Melbourne and went on to perform in the La Mama autumn season of Survival.
