Early life and education

[edit]

Ferran was born in Valencia, Spain, in 1989.[1] Her father is from Barcelona and her mother is from Valencia. The family moved to England when Ferran was a child.[2] She attended Notre Dame School, an all-girls convent school in Cobham, Surrey.

She read Drama and Theatre Arts at Birmingham University,[3] and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating in 2014.[4]

Career

[edit]

In 2017 Ferran made her film debut acting in three films; the costume drama Tulip Fever, the romance drama God's Own Country, and the historical drama Darkest Hour. That same year she made her television debut acting in three projects; the Netflix miniseries Guerrilla, the British series Jamestown , and the TNT historical fiction series Will. In 2018 she acted in an Rebecca Frecknall directed revival of the Tennessee Williams play Summer and Smoke playing Alma Winemiller at the Almeida Theater. Michael Billington of The Guardian praised her performance declaring, that the production was built "around Patsy Ferran, who confirms her status as one of the most exciting actors on the British stage."[5] For her performance she won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress.[6] In 2019 she played Björk in the coming of age film How to Build a Girl. The following year she played a nun in the miniseries Black Narcissus (2020).[7]

In 2022, she had a supporting role in the drama Living starring Bill Nighy. That same year, she returned to the theater taking a leading role as Blanche DuBois acting opposite Paul Mescal as Stanley Kowalski in the revival of the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire. For the production she reunited with director Rebecca Frecknall. The play received positive reviews with critics praising her performance. Demetrois Mattheou of The Hollywood Reporter noted, "[Ferran] joined the production just before it was to open...when Lydia Wilson had to withdraw due to injury. The rescue act makes her heartbreaking, very individual performance even more remarkable." adding, "Ferran enthusiastically gobbles up Williams’ lines, capturing the wit of the wobbly flirt perfectly, accompanied by a dry, bitter self-knowledge".[8] For her performance she was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress losing to Jodie Comer in the one-woman show Prima Facie.[9] She and Mescal reprised their roles at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2025.[10]
