EMMA WALLACE
Actor - Singer - Dancer - Theatre Maker
HELLO!
I’m an Argentine-American actor, dancer, singer, songwriter, and choreographer, working between London, New York, and Austin, Texas.
I just finished playing the title role in The Archive Theatre's newest play, Ophelia. This is an R&D project staged at Etcetera Theatre in London, and I'm headed to Austin to head a new R&D project titled "At the Edge of Nowhere", directed by Elizabeth V. Newman and produced by The Filigree Theatre.
Earlier this year, I played Cathy in a critically acclaimed production of The Last Five Years in Cardiff, marking my first collaboration with Wojta Productions and director Alice Eklund, and certainly not the last.
Last year, I made my London debut as Phoebe Larson in The Gardening Club, directed by Tara Noonan and produced by Nowhere Girls in association with ATG.
In 2024, I co-founded Dippy Egg Theatre and co-wrote Unlikely: In a Building with a Broken Lift, a horror-comedy of errors. The piece premiered at London’s Grim Festival in October 2025 and returned for a limited run at Barons Court Theatre in March 2026.
While my focus has been mainly on R&D and new works, I am looking forward to the classics, too. I have a lot coming up, so stay tuned.
Reviews
OPHELIA | Etcetera Theatre, London (2026) - R&D
"At the centre of the play is Emma Wallace’s stunning portrayal of Ophelia. ...conveys the unrelenting openness, the vulnerability and the astonishing, overflowing love of her brother that Ophelia carries with her, and, at the same time, a quick wit and a deep-seated sense of defiance..." North West End
UNLIKELY: In A Building With a Broken Lift | Barons Court Theatre, London (2026)
