India Eva Rae

Making her breakthrough in 2019, India Eva Rae starred in Channel 4’s anthology series On the Edge. Made by BlackLight Television (founded by Ben Brereton and Phil Trethowan), the series was developed through the 4Stories initiative. India took the lead role of Candice in the story Adulting, a moving and unusual tale focusing on the blossoming relationship between a young neurodiverse woman, played by India, and a young man who has lost his way in life, played by Noughts and Crosses’ Jack Rowan. In 2021, she appeared in a Silent Witness (BBC) two-parter entitled ‘Matters of Life and Death’.

India made her theatre debut in 2019, starring in Ageless, by Benjamin Kuffour, at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith. Like Adulting, the play challenged contemporary thought and conventions, here exploring the reaction to aging and the elderly in the modern world.

In 2020, India appeared in brand new sitcom Maxxx (Channel 4) with the show’s writer, director and star O-T Fagbenle.

All her projects to date chime with India’s passion to tell stories that shake the current status quo, opening hearts and minds and pushing boundaries.
