She is best known among teenagers as one of the leads in the BBC’s children’s spy series MI High, but this year Powley broadened her fanbase with her performance in Polly Stenham’s Tusk Tusk at London’s Royal Court.
Playing a damaged 14-year-old, Powley wowed the critics with the power of her acting, at once hilarious and heartrending.
