Maya, 19, starred as Jo March in the acclaimed BBC TV adaptation of Louisa Alcott’s novel Little Women, screened last Christmas, and won widespread praise for her performance.

She was contacted by outdoor theatre organiser Julian Wilde, asking her to support the series of five open plays at Lytham Hall, beginning with Chapterhouse Theatre Company’s production of Little Women on Sunday 17 June.
