  Cast Member

  I’m Lola Spiteri, a midlands actor based in London. Growing up I was part of the BAFTA award winning Television workshop before moving to London and getting involved with National youth theatre. Last year my short film “Spoken in plain sight” was up for ‘Best on Film’ at the Hollyshorts festival; and most recently I was apart of Springboks 2026 play festival season. I’m so excited to be apart of a Talking People show as I’ve been attending their classes for a while now and I can’t wait to have some fun, get out of my head and follow my acting impulses.
