MORGAN, ELIZABETH

Elizabeth Morgan was born in Llanelli and has worked in the entertainment business as an actor/writer, both in England and in Wales. She has appeared in numerous television productions which include 'The Old Devils', 'The Two of Us', 'We Are Seven', 'The Dick Emery Shows' and 'Dad's Army'. She has also performed at the National Theatre and provincial venues, notably the Sherman Theatre Cardiff and Theatre Clwyd, plus several tours in the USA with her own one-woman plays. She provided the voices of Destiny and Rhapsody Angels in the 'Captain Scarlet' series, and continues to voice animated cartoons.

She has worked extensively in radio particularly with the BBC Radio Drama Company, and recorded 'Under Milk Wood' with Sir Anthony Hopkins. Recently she played Caitlin in a new play about Dylan Thomas at the Dylan Thomas Festival in Swansea. From time to time she lectures in Creative Writing at Brighton University.

Elziabeth has written 26 performed plays for Radio 4, several short stories and four television plays. A regular contributor to magazines and newspapers, she has been published in the Western Mail, Traditional Homes, Period and Traditional Homes, Country Homes and Interiors, French Property News, Daily Express Magazine, Living France, France, Chic, Homes and Gardens, French News and Connexion.

A devoted Francophile, she spends half the year at her home in the South of France, easily recognisable by the Welsh flag 'Y Ddraig Goch', which flutters from the balcony. She also loves the natural empathy there exists between Wales and France.
