Early life and theatre

Lourdes Faberes was born and raised in Manila, Philippines.[2] She moved to the United Kingdom in 1997 to study at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, gaining an MA in Performance (Advanced Theatre Practice). Faberes is now based in London.

Faberes has stated that her mother wanted "overachieving children". Although her parents first suggested that she become a lawyer, her mother brought Faberes to various extracurricular activities, including tennis, embroidery, and arms and ammunition. She was first introduced to acting when her mother took her to the National Theatre in the Philippines to improve her elocution. Her acting debut was in a production of The King and I in 1991.[3] Faberes performed for the Philippines repertory company in Miss Saigon, despite not being able to sing.[3] She then moved to London and studied at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2000, going on to perform with an extensive career in many of London's top theatres.[4][3][2]
