Olivia can be seen as a series regular in the latest series of EVERYONE ELSE BURNS for C4.
Olivia played Megan (Magnet Girl) across two series of Disney Plus’s EXTRAORDINARY produced by Sid Gentle. Alongside this, she can also be seen in the third series of STARSTRUCK and has also recently appeared in a guest lead role in BAD EDUCATION for the BBC
In 2021 she played Jane Seymour and Katherine Howard in Hilary Mantel’s THE MIRROR AND THE LIGHT (RSC/Gielgud Theatre) opposite Ben Miles and Nathaniel Parker, directed by Jeremy Herrin. Her performance garnered praise from critics:
“Olivia Marcus as both Jane Seymour and Katherine Howard make strong impressions in a necessarily macho show.” – Evening Standard ✭✭✭✭
“…the excellent Olivia Marcus as a tiny, menacingly demure Jane Seymour” – The Arts Desk
Olivia also stars as the title role of Yentl in BBC Radio 4’s YENTL THE YESHIVA BOY opposite Richard Fleeshman and dramatised by Kerry Shale.
Other notable credits include a lead role in BBC3 pilot AMICABLE and Simon in Theatr Clwyd/Sherman Theatre’s LORD OF THE FLIES (“a memorable turn by Olivia Marcus making her professional debut” – The Stage).
She is graduate of Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
