Adam Ewan: biography and credits

Career
Training and first role
Adam trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. His first role after graduating was in the British independent film Morris: A Life with Bells On (Twist Films), a spoof documentary about the quintessentially English pastime of Morris dancing.
Theatre
For the National Theatre he appeared in both runs of Small Island, and in My Country: A Work in Progress. He played the lawyer Grové in African Gothic at the Park Theatre, a performance The Independent said brought “just the right note of nerdy officiousness” to the role. Other stage work includes Much Ado About Nothing at the RSC Swan, A Midsummer Night's Dream at Theatre Royal Bristol and The Wind in the Willows at the Redgrave Theatre.
He has performed several times with Read Not Dead at Shakespeare's Globe, the series of staged readings of rarely performed plays from Shakespeare's era, including A Christian Turn'd Turk and The Honourable History of Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay.
Television
His television credits include Fleabag and The Living and the Dead for the BBC, Endeavour for Mammoth Screen and ITV, Top Boy for Netflix, The Capture for BBC and Heyday, Brassic for Sky, Kiri for Channel 4, The Spanish Princess for Starz and Magpie Murders for Eleventh Hour Films. He also appeared in the screen version of My Country for the National Theatre, Cuba Pictures and BBC Worldwide.
Film
In film, he has appeared in Armando Iannucci's The Death of Stalin, Matthew Warchus's Pride, and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald for Warner Bros, as well as The Chameleon and A Closed Book.
