Annie

Annie is one of the younger teachers at the college. In the first series she became increasingly emotionally attached to Michael, not realising he was gay. She does all she can to support the students, including the troubled Nicky.

Annie is played by Donna Doubtfire, who describes making Rush as 'challenging as well as fun'. Donna began her acting career at Pegasus Youth Theatre in Oxford, where she met the writer and director of Rush, Ray Harrison Graham. She has since done a number of theatre and television shows with Ray, as well as mainstream theatre for deaf and hearing audiences.

Donna is 35 and lives in Oxford with her two boys.
