Home and Away newcomer Rose star's life - Harry Potter fame to LGBT films
dailystar.co.ukHome And Away fans have been enjoying the presence of latest arrival to Summer Bay, Rose Delaney, for a few weeks now.The pretty police officer - played by Kirsty Marillier - is the sister of fellow newcomer Xander Delaney, who is brought to life by former Summer Bay regular and Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth's cousin Luke Van Os, and current character Jasmine Delaney.Kirsty, 32, has made her way to the Bay after carving out her acting career with some enviable roles over the years as she prepared for her stint in soapland.The South African born star is now frequenting screens as Rose but she has applied her skills to different avenues over the years.Kirsty isn't just a force to be reckoned with in the acting department, she's also an award-winning playwright with two of her own works from the Emerging Writers Group at the Sydney Theatre Company currently in production.Her debut effort, Orange Thrower, will get its stage debut in 2022 thanks to the combined resources of the Griffin Theatre Company and the National Theatre Of Paramatta.Kirsty had huge success appearing in the theatre adaptation of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child at Sydney's Griffin Theatre.She previously admitted that taking the part helped her work on her own scripts for her upcoming productions.She said: "A large chunk of writing time took place in my dressing room while playing understudy roles in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child over in Melbourne."The stability of this job meant I was able to write without stress, without time constraints or deadlines.
I could just write freely - often hunched over my laptop, dressed as a Hufflepuff, mouthing the lines of my new, baby characters.”Kirsty has also starred in theatre productions of Home, I'm Darling.
