Ronke Adékoluejo

Ronke Adékoluẹjo continues to build an impressive and illustrious resumé of stage and screen credits. After graduating from RADA in 2013, she quickly landed roles in Suspects (Channel 5), Cold Feet (ITV), Chewing Gum (E4) and NW (BBC).

In 2017, she delivered a memorable turn in Doctor Who (BBC), in the episode ‘Extremis’, followed by roles in Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One and biographical drama Christopher Robin (both 2018). In 2019, she starred in Been So Long (Netflix/Green Acre), as one of the core four performers alongside George Mackay, Arinzé Kene and Michaela Coel. She then went on to star in the films The Big Other (2020), Ear for Eye (2021) and, most recently, Chevalier (2022), in which she played Nanon, the mother of real-life virtuoso Chevalier de Saint-Georges.

Ronke has been vocal in supporting short-form storytelling, with roles in Molly Manning Walker’s The Forgotten C (2020); Guests (2023), by Timi Akindele-Ajani, which won Ronke the Best Actress award at the 2023 BUFF Awards; and The Beholder, by Olivier-nominated Priyanga Burford. Her television credits include the lead in Channel 4 pilot Big Age, and Rain Dogs (HBO/BBC), by BAFTA Breakthrough Cash Carraway (2023 cohort), which earned her a Supporting Actor – Female nomination at the RTS Programme Awards 2024.

A long list of stage credits include: The Mountaintop (Young Vic); Three Sisters (National Theatre), Blues for an Alabama Sky (National Theatre); and Lava (Bush Theatre), the latter earning Ronke an Offie.

Ronke is also a writer (although she prefers the term ‘storyteller’). Her play Teleportation was performed at Steven Kavuma’s This Is Black Festival in 2019, where it received rave reviews. She wrote Tribe specifically for the Young Vic’s Taking Part programme, inspired by and for national charity Women in Prison.

Ronke is represented by Rachel Briscoe at The Artist’s Partnership.
