Personal Brief
Lauren is a Brixton-based freelance journalist who grew up in London, Singapore, Rome, Brussels and Paris. After a brief spell selling shots in a rasta bar in Guanajuato, Mexico, she started her journalism career at the London Lite way back in, erm, 2008. There have since been spells at MailOnline, South London Press, Scout London, Theatre Guide London and The Stage.
Lauren loves all things cultural but has a particular obsession with theatre. She goes up to Edinburgh every August with The Stage where she reviews around 70 plays a year as well as judging the newspaper's annual acting competition.
