BIO

Amelia Bullmore is a British actress and writer with an impressive career in both television and theater. Born in 1964 in London, Bullmore began her acting career with the Royal Shakespeare Company before moving on to television and film.


Bullmore's first major television role was in the BBC drama "Ashes to Ashes" in 1993, and she went on to appear in several other popular British shows, including "I'm Alan Partridge," "Scott & Bailey," and "Happy Valley." She also had a recurring role in the hit series "Gentleman Jack" as Eliza Priestley.
In addition to her work on screen, Bullmore has had a successful career in theater. She has appeared in several productions in London's West End, including "The Norman Conquests" and "Di and Viv and Rose."

Bullmore has also found success as a writer for television.

In 2005, she created and wrote the series "Scott & Bailey," which ran for five seasons and was critically acclaimed for its portrayal of female police officers.
Most recently, Bullmore has been seen in the BBC series "Years and Years," which aired in 2019. She played the role of Vivienne Rook, a controversial and divisive politician who becomes a major player in British politics. The show was praised for its prescient depiction of a dystopian future and Bullmore's performance was widely acclaimed.
In addition to her work as an actress and writer, Bullmore is also a trained psychotherapist. She has spoken publicly about the benefits of therapy and how it has helped her in her career and personal life.

DI AND VIV AND ROSE Comes to Blue Sky Theatre in August

Get ready to be transported back to the vibrant '80s as Blue Sky Theatre Productions presents Di and Viv and Rose by Amelia Bullmore at Marion Cultural Centre from August 2 to 11.
Review: DI AND VIV AND ROSE at The Pumphouse Theatre, Takapuna, Auckland

What did our critic think of DI AND VIV AND ROSE at THE PUMPHOUSE Theatre, Takapuna, Auckland?Don't we all hunger for human connection? Love? Support? Laughter?  Directed superbly, with exquisite attention to detail, by Stephanie McKellar- Smith, the action of this emotionally-charged play centres on the powerful bond between three women. The cast  (Lisa Chappell, Eilish Moran, Jodie Dorday) is exceptional and there isn’t a moment when we are not captivated. Enacted with psychological, physical and emotional truth - faces, voices and movement ensure that right from the outset, we have a clear indication of the personality, values, attitudes and ambitions of the three “girls”.  The 1980s was indeed a time of shift

Review: DI AND VIV AND ROSE at Rumpus, Bowden

The play is so well chosen for this collective. It is a truth universally acknowledged, at least by me and my mentor, Myk Mykyta, that most modern plays are twenty minutes too long. Contemporary audiences have been conditioned by films and, especially, television to pick up the thread of a story very quickly. After all every millisecond of screen time costs 'squillions'. Live theatre can take its time and, while this new show from The Corseted Rabbits Collective, at Rumpus, Di and Viv and Rose, could be twenty minutes shorter, the establishment of character and story is done with such warmth and focus as to carry you along nicely.
