Powley recently finished playing the lead role in the World War II drama, Ashes in the Snow, based on the novel, Between Shades of Gray, by Ruta Septys. Other stage credits include Elephants at London's Hampstead Theater, the Royal Court Theatre's West End production of Tusk Tusk, as well as Jumpy at the Royal Court Theatre.
