Charly Faye: Creator
Alongside acting, Charly has a passion for making her own work. Whether it's on her own or as a group, stage or screen, devising, writing or improvising, she loves to create. Below are some examples of previous projects as well as those currently in development.
Immodest
Immodest is inspired by real diary entries from nuns from the 17th Century, and is drawn heavily from Immodest Acts, the biography of one of the most famous queer nuns; Benedetta Carlini. Benedetta (Charly Faye) was considered a Saint in her lifetime, but her status was ripped away from her when an investigation uncovered her romantic relationship with her fellow nun, Bartolomea (Emma Brunet-Campain). Her punishment was isolation from the fellow Convent. She lived into her 70s, but never spoke another word to a human being for the rest of her life.

Scrub Me, Daddy, a short film written, directed and shot by Robyn Faye has made the top 25 selection of the Straight 8 competition for 2024. The film will premiere on the biggest screen in the UK, BFI IMAX, on the 25th May alongside 24 other amazing films. Charly Faye stars in the lead role, supported by Emma Brunet-Campain.
Lonesome is a visual poem written and performed by Emma Brunet-Campain, edited and directed by Robyn Faye and produced by Charly Faye. The trio collaborated on a short film together, Flying Duo, in March 2024. The dialogue in this film was developed from an original poem, and the three of them decided to record the poem and combine it with their excess footage.

A Room
Of Her Own
A Room of Her Own is a short film created along side Charly's fellow co-star and producer Lara Marks. Birthed mid pandemic it seemed fitting to the two women to create a piece focusing on re-connecting with our loved ones and finding time for those closest to us. With themes of sisterhood, sexual identity, mental heath and what it means to be a women, this short is a prime example of a true passion project.

The
Prism
Created in a collaboration with Les Enfants Terribles, The Prism is an interactive online theatrical experience produced during the first Covid-19 Lockdown in 2020. Charly Faye devised this piece along side her twin sister, Robyn Faye, and their colleague and housemate, Emma Brunet. With themes of isolation (how fitting!) and the fear of the unknown, this quirky and disorientating performance piece mixes traditional clowning with the modern medium of recorded theatre.
