BIOGRAPHY

Milanka Brooks is an actress, writer and producer. Originally from England, she spent one year in Australia acting in theatre and films, before returning to London to study at the prestigious Drama Centre in 2009. She has appeared in several Theatre productions including an open-air tour of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the hit comedy Love Labour’s Won at the Edinburgh Fringe. She has also performed in several Feature Films, including the French comedy King Guillaume directed by Pierre-François Martin-Laval, and most recently Epsion(s) directed by Nicholas Saada. Since graduating drama school Milankia has appeared in the multi-award winning British BBC sitcom My Family, and she is now a member of the Improvisation/Sketch group Don't Tell Jimmy. The group are performing throughout the London comedy circuit and around the country, and have a monthly slot at ComComedy at The Queen of Hoxton in Shoreditch, and The Bridge Lounge in London Bridge. Milanka is also delighted to have joined her new agent, Tara Lynch at International Artistes. Milanka comes from a very creative family background. Her Father, the late Harry Brooks Junior, was an actor and writer for many years. His remarkable theatrical career and creative philosophy continue to be an inspiration for Milanka to this day, and she hopes to carry on developing much of his un-finished writing. Milanka’s Mother is originally from Bosnia and is quite exceptionally eccentric – perhaps this is why Milanka plays so many colourful Eastern European parts..... As well as acting, Milanka is also a writer and producer. She is currently developing a sit-com mini-series with her screenwriting partner, which she hopes to produce for Television in 2011. She is also in negotiations with several funding partners regarding feature film projects that are due to start production later this year.
