Meet Elizabeth RevillAcclaimed writer, playwright, actress, director and teacher. Born and brought up in Birmingham, but very proud of her Welsh parentage, Elizabeth Revill has always loved to write. Her first novel, Killing Me Softly, a chilling psychological thriller caused a storm when it was published in 1995. It dealt with a serial killer's incestuous relationship with his mother and received rave reviews. The sequel, Prayer For The Dying, has been equally well received. Paul Franks on his his BBC Breakfast Show Birmingham described it as the best read he'd had in years. Judy Spiers from Radio Devon interviewed Liz and admitted she couldn't put it down. Liz has now completed the third and final part of the trilogy, God Only Knows, which is being launched December 16th. Elizabeth Revill has written six plays under her married name - Liz Spear. Her three, one act, plays will enliven any audience: Check-mate - a domestic comedy and It Happens in Films - a black comedy thriller and Relative Disaster - a comedy. Plus two entertaining full length plays: Mocking Birds Don't Sing - a drama, and Milly's Moments - a farce. She has also completed a spooky thriller, In the Chill of the Night. All are published by New Theatre Publications. She also has a new unpublished novel, Whispers on the Wind, which is set in a part of Wales she knows and loves. This Welsh family saga begins in 1928 and takes us up to the outbreak of World War Two. A further two novels about the same family are planned: Shadows on the Moon and Rainbows in the Clouds. Elizabeth Revill moved from London when she finished her run in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe to live in the beautiful serenity of the North Devon countryside. It was here she returned to her other career, teaching. She taught for some years at Park School in Special Needs, History and English before moving on to North Devon College where she taught A Level Theatre Studies and Voice and Speech on the Performing Arts course. Elizabeth Revill has developed the New Writers' Theatre Company which encourages the best professional writing and acting talent in the South West - Mocking Birds Don't Sing was their first production. This play was chosen because it had attracted so much positive professional interest. It was shortlisted for the Verity Bargate Award in 2000 and by Stop Gap Theatre at the Yvonne Arnaud theatre in Guildford. Liz resides on a farm in North Devon with her husband, Andrew, who in her words is "the best thing that ever happened to me". She has one son, Ben Fielder, a professional actor himself. Ben now lives in London and Liz enjoys every opportunity to see him and visit the capital.
Elizabeth Revill Reviews Westminster Theatre "That nasty piece of work the white witch
is given just the right Edwina Currie touch by Elizabeth Revill." "Elizabeth Revill's surly scottish
governess Mrs McCready reincarnated in the beyond as the wicked white
witch commanding various nasties as Maugrim is effectively bad. My nine
year old critic at hand said he had been scared. . ."
Writers Theatre Company - Tissue "Elizabeth Revill's performance as Sally is
at times extremely moving whilst at the same time maintaining a sense of
light and shade." "Elizabeth Revill as Sally has the audience
in the palm of her hand from the moment she steps on stage."
