Faith's debut play MY FATHER'S FABLE will soon stage at the Bush Theatre in London.
Faith was nominated for an OLIVIER AWARD for her stunning leading performance as Joy in STANDING AT THE SKY’S EDGE at the National. The show was a huge hit, nominated for an Olivier itself, and drew in glowing reviews hailing Faith’s performance and powerful and soulful voice.
She also stars in the leading role of BISMA in both series of hit ensemble TV comedy WE ARE LADY PARTS for Channel 4/Peacock. The first series of the show pulled in critical acclaim across the board, earning a BAFTA nomination for Best Scripted Comedy and Vogue calling it "...a riotous comedy that's unlike anything you've seen before."
She was named as one of the Evening Standard’s ‘Ones to Watch’ in 2019 thanks to her starring role in AN IDEAL HUSBAND at the Vaudeville Theatre.
Reviews for Faith in STANDING AT THE SKY'S EDGE:
"That same flat some 30 years later becomes home to a teenager fleeing war-torn Liberia. Played by a radiant Faith Omole, that character, Joy, isn’t sure whether Park Hill, her supposed place of refuge, is a castle or a prison. And when she embarks on a mixed-race relationship with a sweet local boy, Jimmy..." - New York Times
"His staging is peppered with standout performances, particularly from Omole..." - Financial Times
"In Faith Omole's wonderful performance, it's Joy who is the heart of the play." - WhatsOnStage
"Two decades later, the once pristine walls now squeaking with rats, they are replaced by the fearful family of Liberian immigrant Joy (an outstanding Faith Omole)" - The Telegraph
