Ella Bright

About

Ella Bright is a fresh curd with a little more depth than its first taste suggests. Her screen work has moved between the schoolroom and broader drama, with a lightness that need not mean softness. Malory Towers is the place to start: Bright’s work in the CBBC adaptation gives the familiar school setting a lively centre. Christmas at Malory Towers offers another chance to see her in that world, while The Crown and Legends place her in very different dramatic company. There is still room for the curd to mature, and Off Campus marks another step in that process. Bright’s fresh-curd quality lies in that combination of openness and promise: a young cheese with more character waiting beneath the surface.
