Kirsty Bruce

I’m an actor, writer and producer based in Auckland, New Zealand. I have worked extensively for multi-award winning and record-breaking theatre company Pop-up Globe across many productions of Shakespeare’s most famous works. Aside from being experienced in classical theatre, I have worked on a significant amount of premiers of new New Zealand plays and I enjoy working closely with writers to develop new work. I also do medical roleplay and work in similar high-stakes scenarios with police.

My screen work includes several short films, Shortland Street (New Zealand’s premiere soap opera), The Men Who Built America (History Channel) and Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop.

I speak German and have both directed and performed in a German language play. I have beginners level Te Reo Maori.

I am a graduate of Victoria University of Wellington’s Theatre Programme and a proud member of Equity.
