Career
editMole appeared as a singer in a West End production of Francis Beaumont's The Knight of the Burning Pestle at the Aldwych Theatre in 1981.[1] The same year, she was understudy to Peggy Ashcroft as the Countess in Trevor Nunn's Royal Shakespeare Company production of All's Well That Ends Well, and had some lesser roles for the company.[2][3]
In 1983, she played Bella in the Avon Touring Theatre Company's first production of Vince Foxall's Brittle Glory, a reworking of Richard II.[4]
