Susanne Horsburgh

Biography taken from 2008 (The Gondoliers) programme:

Before moving to Edinburgh, Susanne used to perform mainly in Shakespearean drama, appearing as, among others, Viola in Twelfth Night, the Queen in Cymbeline and Polonia in Hamlet, mostly with the Bonn University Shakespeare Company for whom she also directed Twelfth Night. Playing Chiffon in Little Shop of Horrors, however, made her realise that her true vocation lies in musical theatre. In November 2007 she discovered her inner anarchist as Emma Goldman in Sondheim’s Assassins with Alan Borthwick and Friends. Criticised for being too young a Ruth and “an awful long way from anyone’s idea of unattractive” – attributes not normally considered problematic – she looks forward to playing a sexy, age-appropriate part in her favourite Italian city!
