HOFFI MUNT - Actor & Playwright

Hoffi joined CHTC  for Scrooge in 2002 and has been hooked ever since, playing the roles of Troppo the Mime in Salad Days, Linda Low in Flower Drum Song and the wailing Ermengarde in Hello, Dolly!  Even when studying at university she was determined to still take part in the chorus of Blitz! and of The King and I.  She is proud to be one of the original members of the Youth Theatre and has taken on lead roles in a number of the productions including You, Me & Mrs Jones, Once a Catholic, Daisy Pulls it Off, The Gut Girls and Two Short Socks. Recently she has also taken part in The Players productions including Love Begins at Fifty and the Old Time Music Hall.  Her most recent roles were as Tina Lewis in the successful 2009 Players production of The Love Nest, Ben in Still Waters and Sophie Montmorency in Still Waters.

Hoffi made her writing debut with CHTC in 2006 when she wrote the one act play ‘Anon’ which was brilliantly performed as part of HADCAF. Anon received further success when theatre group Ten in a Bed agreed to do a rehearsed reading with a professional cast and team before an audience who were encouraged to critique the piece and ask questions of the author. 

Since then Hoffi has written Gone with the Books (2007) for the Players and The Stairway To...  (2007)  for the Youth Theatre. Recently Hoffi has also written Beowulf and The Fate of King Minos for the Young Performers.  Together with Sam Robinson she wrote  The Cleaners for a Youth Theatre production which she also co-directed and performed in! In 2011 her version of Treasure Island was performed by the Young Performers.  She is very grateful to CHTC for giving her the opportunity to see her writing on stage and for all the support she has been given that has helped her develop as a writer and a performer. In 2011Hoffi played The Narrator in our Berkshire premier production of The Likes Of Us and with the Players she was old lady Katy (photo above) in our World Premier production of Love at last.

Hoffi was recently studying to become a journalist at Kingston University and would love to become a theatre critic alongside working as a professional writer of novels and scripts. She is currently working on a musical using the songs of the Victorian music halls and a script satirising her time at university.

We will keep this page updated with Hoffi's progress and wish her the best of luck for the future.
