A star of stage, screen and television, award-winning actress Ruth Wilson can now be seen in an art installation.
Wilson, who has appeared in Luther, Jane Eyre and Saving Mr Banks, plays three women in Eleanor, a cinematic installation inspired by the poetry of Leonard Cohen and W H Auden.
Her roles include a woman living with her dog on the edge of society, a Latvian illegal minicab driver and a middle-class woman.
In one sequence, Wilson, 32, dances with Royal Ballet stars Romany Pajdak and Kristen McNally.
She said: “I have a huge love of dance and poetry, so to be able to combine them in a cinematic way proved too exciting an opportunity to miss.”
Actor and director Alex Warren, 28, from Highgate, came up with the idea after reading a poem by Leonard Cohen called The Faithless Wife.
He and director Tobias Ross-Southall, 28, found similar work by Auden and Robert Frost and commissioned three writers — Polly Stenham, Anya Reiss and Michael Lesslie — to interpret them in poetic voiceovers.
The 23-minute installation, which was filmed in London, is at the Cob Gallery in Camden until March 30.
