Skye recently played ‘Olive Lashbrooke’ in ‘THE VOICE OF THE TURTLE’ at Jermyn Street Theatre
Skye is a finalist at the Off West End Awards 2025
“Olive (a show-stealing, brilliantly funny Skye Hallam) is the play’s brightening spark – you’ll wish she was present for more of it.” THE STAGE
In 2023 Skye played JULIET in Guildford Shakespeare Companies’ ‘BOEING, BOEING, GONE!’
“Skye Hallam plays Juliet Bravo, an ambitious air stewardess who has grown tired of pushing a drinks trolley and now wants to get her hands on the throttle. I especially enjoyed her pre-flight message in which she cautions passengers against using vapes and e-cigarettes, ‘whatever they are’. Hallam is quick-witted and particularly excels at improvised audience banter.”
“Best at navigating the absurdity of it all is Skye Hallam as cabin-crew member Juliet, who breezily relays her character’s backstory, ad-libbing comically to questions from the audience.”
In Autumn of 2023 Skye was also assistant director on Kali Theatre’s new play PHANTASMAGORIA
The play is toured to the Belgrade Theatre Coventry, Northern Stage Newcastle, before a month long run at London’s Southwark Playhouse
In 2022 Skye played Sasha in ORLANDO at the Jermyn Street Theatre directed by Stella Powell-Jones, Artistic Director of Jermyn Street Theatre
“The five cast members, who double up in roles and include Skye Hallam… Each is as sharp and mischievous as the next.”
