For her role in the play 'Present Laughter' - portraying the very understanding almost ex-wife of Andrew Scott - Indira Varma received a 2020 Olivier Award (making her the first person of South Asian descent to win one!) In 2018, she starred at the National Theatre in Patrick Marber's adaptation of 'Exit The King', opposite Rhys Ifans. On television, Indira has captivated viewers in everything from 'Rome' to 'Luther', though she's perhaps best known on the small screen for her role on 'Game of Thrones', as Ellaria Sand - mother of Sand Snakes, screamer of screams.
