Many people will know Amy Golden who lives at Red Admiral on The Common with her parents, Alan and Joan. Amy, aged 23, has recently been appearing as the lead role in a play entitled Who’s Afraid of Virginia’s Sister? written by Sarah Daniels, which  had a 4 week run at the Chicken Shed Theatre in London during March and April.
This new play explores why disability should have such a profound effect on the life of one sister who is as talented as her non-disabled sibling.
The Stage quotes: “Debbie (Amy Golden) is a living reminder that a disabled body does not signal a disabled mind”; and Time Out says “Actress Amy Golden, as Debbie, has the best comic timing, her caustic wit projected simultaneously from her voicebox and the video screen that serves as a backdrop”.
In the play, Amy uses a communication aid with a synthesised voice to deliver her lines. Fourteen years ago, John Prestwich organised a Voice for Amy  fundraising project and provided Amy with her first Voice Machine and this is the first time she has used one professionally.
Amy is thrilled that so many people from Chipperfield braved the M25 at rush hour and drove all that way to see her.
Well done Amy!
