Meet Anjana Vasan—the Singaporean actor with a Laurence Olivier Award under her belt

By Chandreyee Ray

11 September 2023

The clear-eyed thespian opens up about playing Nida Huq in the latest season of 'Black Mirror', leaving home for the love of acting, and staying focused on craft—even as her star rises

“I love that one shot of Nida just standing in the department store, dressed in shades of brown, and the store is also all in shades of brown,” Anjana Vasan pauses, her lips quirking up. “And, you know, she’s brown. She just blends perfectly into the background.”

It’s not the first time the actor has startled a laugh out of me during our conversation. As we chat over Zoom one Monday night—it is morning for Vasan in London—our distance is no match for the rapport we quickly find. (“It is quite rare for me to get to speak with a journalist who is of a similar background,” Vasan had noted with excitement right at the beginning.)

Two little silver jhumkis hang from Vasan’s earlobes, dancing gently whenever she turns or tilts her head. Her large, doe-like eyes are strikingly expressive, and they soften as she cracks affectionate jokes about Nida Huq, the character she plays in ‘Demon 79’—the final episode from the newest season of Black Mirror .

The satirical episode stands out both for its dark comedy and nuanced handling of heavy sociopolitical themes, but it’s Vasan’s breathtaking performance as the mild-mannered but idiosyncratic Nida that really steals the show. “There’s an inherent loneliness to Nida—a sense of someone who has made herself as small as possible,” Vasan observes. “I think all of us, especially people of colour, are familiar with that feeling, when you’re not from somewhere and you feel like you don’t belong. And I’ve been not from somewhere twice!”

“I think my parents had clocked very early on that I was going to run away and join the circus one day”

Like Nida, Vasan comes from a family of immigrants. She had moved to Singapore from Chennai with her parents when she was three years old. They would go back to Chennai once a year to visit their extended family, but had made their new home in our island-city.

Along the way, the family became Singapore citizens. Vasan grew up attending local schools—“I went to CHIJ Katong Convent Primary and Secondary,” she rattles off proudly, tell-tale signs of Singlish slipping through her otherwise neutral accent—and studied Mandarin as her second language.

After graduating with a degree in theatre studies from the National University of Singapore, Vasan went to the UK to pursue a master’s degree at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, Wales, and has lived there ever since.

It is no small thing to uproot your life and move to a foreign country alone to pursue an unconventional career, especially having grown up in an academics-focused country like Singapore. Vasan attributes her courage in being able to take that leap of faith largely to the quiet but unwavering support her parents—who are still based in Singapore—have shown her.

“Right from the start, the world of acting was not one they understood. I’m sure there were people around them telling them that I was making a mistake. But even if they were cautious or hesitant, they never said no, they never said ‘you can’t do that’,” she reflects. “They always stood by me. Plus, I think they had clocked very early on that I was going to run away and join the circus one day anyway.”

Vasan’s dry wit belies the reserved facade you may see when you first meet her. Like any good theatre kid, she harbours plenty of quirk and effervescence—and a sizeable well of sardonic jokes at her own expense. “As a child, I was obsessed with people who could be funny. When I joined drama club, I found myself coming out of my shell because I noticed that if you were a bit weird or a bit awkward, those were qualities that were celebrated. I’m not naturally a very confident person in real life, but I found my people in those rooms.”

Once she moved to the UK, a childhood love for theatre blossomed into a full-blown acting career. “It all happened very organically. Bits of TV, lots of theatre and one thing led to another—a year became two, then three, then four. Around the five-year mark, I realised, ‘All right, all my eggs are in this one basket’.”

Expectedly, the process of finding her footing in the entertainment world was a gradual, and sometimes painful, one. “Early on, there were definitely points when I felt quite deflated, especially when there’d be long stretches without work. All I wanted to do was to survive from pay cheque to pay cheque as an actor. With acting, it can sometimes feel every door you open leads to another closed door.”

A decade on, Vasan now has a Laurence Olivier Award—the highest honour in British theatre—under her belt for her lauded performance as Stella Kowalski in the London revival of A Streetcar Named Desire opposite Paul Mescal and Patsy Ferran. Her recent starring credit and raved-about performance in Black Mirror , meanwhile, has put her firmly in the spotlight. In a sense, it feels as though the mightily talented Vasan is standing on the cusp of an open door.

“As an actor, you are only as good as your last job. Most actors don’t enter the industry with the choice to curate the kind of career they want”

Still, she has an almost impossibly measured view of what the reality of her industry is—and what her career may or may not shape up to be. “As an actor, you’re only as good as your last job. That’s what goes on in the back of every actor’s mind. When you get a good role, you’ve got to try and use it to get other roles—don’t mess it up!” she says wryly.

Among the pools of wisdom Vasan could offer, what she is particularly clear-eyed about is how her identities as a woman and ethnic minority intersect with the general hustle of being an actor. “We’ve all been through micro-aggressions and we know what it feels like. This is an industry that naturally wants to pigeonhole people. They see what you look like and where you come from, and it’s easy for them to say, ‘Ok, you’re this person and you only play this role’. At every stage of your career, you’re constantly trying to bend those expectations.”

“Most actors don’t enter the industry with the choice to curate exactly the kind of career they want. You might come into it thinking you’re going to be a film star and then you’re doing a sitcom for seven years. Making a living is not always easy and you don’t actually have a lot of control over it.”

One of her favourite projects is a sitcom called We are Lady Parts , following a British punk rock band consisting entirely of Muslim women. Aside from a bevy of award nominations and wins for her stellar acting, what the show earned Vasan was also a deep sense of belonging—like she had finally found a role made for her. “It was one of those shows where you feel like you’ve just got it right and it was such a celebration of diversity and inclusivity.”

In a press junket following a screening of We are Lady Parts , a reporter posed the cast and crew with a sobering question that instantly changed the mood. “He asked, quite innocently, not meaning to offend, ‘What do you feel about being in a show like this? Because every few years, a show like this comes around, and then we just forget about the people who were in it because they don’t have any opportunities to move on to after’.”

“It was an incredibly deflating moment because we knew what he meant. This industry doesn’t know how to take care of talent it can’t put in a box,” Vasan muses.

“You may not change the entire world, but you could move one person—that’s what being an actor ultimately is about”

With 10 years of experience behind her, her perspective on success is highly nuanced—and not quite as linear as, say, more roles equals greater success. “I think back to a memory from the second or third play I did when I was starting out. I was playing a very small role and didn’t have many lines. One day, after rehearsal, this older South Asian actor said to me, ‘Anjana, you’re really good’. I thanked him, but he continued, ‘You’re really good and you’re going to work all the time. But it’s going to be a while before you get to play the roles you really want to play’.

“Now that I’ve begun to do those roles, it’s Black and brown writers that I’m really grateful to because they are the ones with the imagination to write us these parts when no one else has.”

She concludes, eyes shut peacefully as if she’s thinking about her favourite thing in the world: “Acting is not something you can do in a vacuum. It’s a craft and it’s a lot of hard work. You may not change the entire world, but you could move one person—that’s what the job ultimately is about. And as lovely as taking photos for Vogue or winning an award may be, those are fun cherries on the cake. For me, it’s important to do the job well and go home. Everything else is optional.”

The shoot and interview for this story were conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Black Mirror’s Anjana Vasan: ‘I’ve been underestimated because I’m small, brown and foreign’

A njana Vasan likes surprises. The Olivier-winning actor is drawn to characters who do the things you least expect. In the Channel 4 sitcom  We Are Lady Parts , she played a nerd who forms a punk band with a group of Muslim women. To land the part, she bit the head off a flower in the audition – and ended up with a Bafta nomination. In  A Streetcar Named Desire , which recently finished its West End transfer, she starred as Stella – a character often perceived as passive and feeble but who actually holds considerable power and sway over her sister and husband. And now, in  Black Mirror ,  she portrays a meek shoe shop assistant who starts bludgeoning people to death with bricks and hammers.  

“There is a pattern,” the 36-year-old says, looking quite pleased at the connection. “They are characters where you maybe underestimate what they’re capable of, or there’s something that doesn’t match who they are.” She’s speaking over video call from her north London home; a black tail belonging to her cat, Pirate, flicks near the corner of the screen. Vasan pauses as she thinks about why she chooses these roles. “I  am  someone who people have maybe underestimated,” she says. “Being someone who’s quite small, you know, and brown and foreign – in many situations I have felt that feeling of being underestimated. And I do take some relish in proving people wrong.”  

Initially, Vasan thought it was a mistake when she was asked to record a self-tape for the new  Black Mirror  episode, “Demon 79”. “I had a small little part in [season three’s] ‘Nosedive’ years ago, so I thought I’d already had my  Black Mirror  moment,” she says. “I almost didn’t do the self-tape. I just had it in my head that I wasn’t going to get it, or that if they found out I was in one episode already they probably wouldn’t cast me.” But they did, in the role of a young Indian woman called Nida who works in a shoe shop in the north of England. Her quiet life becomes quite the racket when Paapa Essiedu pops up as a demon in the body of a cockney disco diva, telling her she must make three human sacrifices in the next three days or the apocalypse will come.  

Creator Charlie Brooker is showing his funny bones with this story, and rather than being set in a dystopian future, the action takes place in 1979, against a backdrop of bad wallpaper and the rise of nationalism. It’s also very analogue for a  Black Mirror  episode – yes, there’s a talisman that beckons devil-like creatures to Earth, but there aren’t any robotic dogs or memory microchips. Vasan, despite wearing a drab dressing gown and scuffed slippers throughout, is captivating as a young woman simmering with repressed rage.  

One of the objects of her wrath is Michael Smart. He’s a local Tory politician, played with a shovelful of smarm by David Shields, who represents the latent racism that lurks in some corners of right-wing politics. He’s just as xenophobic as the National Front thugs who stalked the streets with “STOP IMMIGRATION” signs at the time, but he wears a tailored suit. “When he says what he says, I think he’s just a different face, a more palatable face, a more charismatic face,” says Vasan. “He may not say those things in capital letters, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t believe in the same things.”

Nida encounters relentless microaggressions from her colleagues at the shoe store. One girl wrinkles her nose in disgust when Nida eats a biryani on her break in the stockroom. And she’s repeatedly referred to as “your sort”. Vasan, who was born in Chennai, India, and grew up in Singapore from the age of four, has experienced similar prejudice herself. “I’m an immigrant, like, twice over,” she says. “I know what it feels like to be the outsider person in the situation. When I was young, people would go, ‘Oh, your hair smells like curry.’ You don’t really realise how horrible that is until a bit later on. You sort of assume that you’re the one who’s different, so of course they’ll comment on you. You’re the one who’s not from here. If someone said that to me now, I would have something to say – I don’t know that my younger self would. But we now seem to have a better vocabulary for those things, we have words like ‘microaggressions’. Even 10 years ago, and certainly in 1979, you didn’t have that.”   

In  Black Mirror , Nida’s boss asks her to bring in something “normal” for lunch, so she promises him she’ll take a cheese sandwich next time. “When you think about that first generation, second generation of people who moved from another place to England, they just take it on the chin because they almost expect it,” says Vasan. “Nida is a character who wakes up, goes to work; she’s just trying to get by. She doesn’t have any huge ambitions in life, she’s literally trying to survive. For someone like her to work as a sales assistant in a department store is actually kind of a big deal, in a very tiny town in the north of England. Sometimes she’s just trying to blend into the background – literally, in her all-brown outfit. She looks exactly the same as the department store.”  

Vasan, on the other hand, hasn’t been afraid to stand out. None of her relatives work in the performing arts (the family moved to Singapore for her father’s job in finance), and she says that “like any immigrant parents”, hers were “a little bit concerned” about her choice to go into acting. They have nevertheless always “cheered me on from the sidelines”, she says. Vasan did theatre studies at the National University of Singapore, then moved to Cardiff to attend the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, without ever having set foot in the UK before. “I escaped some of the drama school horror stories I’ve heard from other people,” she says, laughing. “No one is trying to break you down when you’re just there for a year.”  

After she left the Royal Welsh, Vasan moved to London and had her first meeting with a theatre casting director. “They were being really lovely and very nice to me, but then at some point they just stopped me and went, ‘How do you speak English so well?’ I just went, ‘What?’ In this day and age, that question just seems so...” she trails off, shaking her head. “That wasn’t someone trying to offend or upset me, it was just an assumption about me because I’m not from here... they just couldn’t get past that difference.”

Vasan very much considered herself a theatre actor, and the subsequent years saw her star in plays from Rebecca Frecknall’s acclaimed revival of Tennessee Williams’s  Summer and Smoke  to playing Nora in an adaptation of Ibsen’s  A Doll’s House  that moved the action to colonial India. She was surprised when she started getting TV roles too – she’s played an abortion protestor in Sex Education and an assassin in  Killing Eve . And then came Stella, the role that won Vasan the Olivier. Frecknall’s  Streetcar  revival, also starring Paul Mescal, was one of this year’s hot tickets. In a four-star review for  The Independent , Jessie Thompson wrote that Vasan’s reading of Stella was “smart” – “living for the electricity between her and Stanley but increasingly wary of when the fuse might blow”.

But before the first run at the Almeida even began, the London theatre publicly apologised for failing to include an image of Vasan, and also misspelling her name, in a Facebook advert for the show. Vasan remembers the fallout vividly. “When that happened, within 24 hours, I was getting lots of messages about it,” she says. “And then it just escalated and a lot of people were very upset and angry on my behalf. I was disappointed and I spoke to the Almeida, and they were very transparent about it and dealt with it.” She pauses. Sighs. “Here’s what I feel. I feel like that sort of thing becomes very defining, because it blew up in a way that meant I knew that one day someone would ask me about it in an interview like this. For me, because we hadn’t even started the job yet, that’s not what I wanted. I didn’t want to be defined by that failing on their part. That’s what was upsetting about it, it was feeling like, ‘I want to be known for playing Stella in this production. I don’t want to be known for this incident.’ It’s a distraction from the work. And when these things happen, people start to chime in on whether Stella should have been included or not included, like, ‘Is she important enough?’ But they’re not useful conversations.”   

At the time, Vasan tweeted to thank those who had voiced their support, saying: “It’s tiring when despite our work and achievements, a simple thing like being credited properly is still not a given.” “I didn’t want to tweet about anything,” she says now, “but I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people who wanted to reach out to me. These oversights, yes, they can be an honest mistake, but they tend to always happen to certain types of people, and I didn’t want to dismiss how people reacted to it. But I’m happy to say that my experience of the play has not been that little moment. I hated that happening because I knew that at some point it was going to come up again in conversation... but people of colour, we don’t want to be defined by these incidents and these events, we want to be defined by the work that we do.”  

After that rocky start, the show’s first run at the Almeida was fraught. Lydia Wilson, who was meant to play Blanche, had to drop out due to health reasons. Vasan, meanwhile, lost her voice before press night and had to miss a show. She says she was mostly ill for the rest of that run. “I felt genuinely quite wiped out by it all at the very end,” she says. “At the West End, it was nice to be able to just do the show, not under crisis all the time.” It all paid off – but she was knackered. In her acceptance speech at the Oliviers, she was so overwhelmed she told the crowd: “I’m going to find a corner and have a lie-down and a cry.”

Up next, Vasan is starring alongside Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley in  Wicked Little Letters.  The comedy film is based on the true story of a group of women investigating a strange case, namely who is sending the 1920s residents of Littlehampton scandalous and obscene correspondence. Vasan plays a cop who’s trying to solve the mystery. "A woman police officer was a very new concept in England at the time," she says, a hint of pride in her voice. And there she goes, surprising us again in a role that breaks the mould.

Anjana Vasan is first Singaporean to win best supporting actress at Britain’s Olivier awards

LONDON – London-based Singapore actress Anjana Vasan has won the Olivier for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for playing Stella Kowalski in the revival of American playwright Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire. 

The Oliviers are the Oscars of London theatre and the 36-year-old is the first Singaporean to win the prestigious award. 

The ceremony was held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday and Vasan was up against some veterans, including South African actress Pamela Nomvete as Calpurnia in American playwright Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird, and Scottish actress Sharon Small in C.P. Taylor’s 1981 Nazi drama Good. 

Vasan looked shocked when her name was announced. The first words out of her mouth when she got up to the podium were: “It takes a while to come up here in these heels. I apologise.” 

She thanked her director Rebecca Frecknall “for trusting me with Stella” and her co-stars Paul Mescal, who won the Olivier for Best Actor in a Lead Role as Stanley Kowalski, and Patsy Ferran, who lost the Best Actress trophy to Jodie Comer. 

Vasan also thanked her parents, “amma” and “appa”, before saying: “I’m going to find a corner and have a lie-down and a cry.” 

The actress has been winning recognition for her work, and earned a Bafta (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) nomination for playing doctoral student-turned-punk singer Amina in We Are Lady Parts (2021 to present), a British comedy about an all-female Muslim band.

She was also in the final season of the hit series Killing Eve (2018 to 2022), where she played an assassin in training.
