Career

In 2006, Christie played Juliet and Hero for the Royal Shakespeare Company in their Complete Works season.[3][4]

In 2008, Christie was cast in Sam Mendes's first Bridge Project theatre company, playing Anya in Tom Stoppard's new adaptation of The Cherry Orchard, and Perdita in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale which finished at The Old Vic in London, after a sellout run at Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City and a world tour.[5] She played Isa in the National Theatre’s production of Glasgow classic Men Should Weep, directed by Josie Rourke.

Among her many television roles, she played Ellen Rooney in the 2017 BBC drama The Replacement.[6] This role gained Christie her first BAFTA Scotland nomination.

She also played Amanda Hopkins in the ITV drama Grantchester for its first three seasons, Alison Hughes in the critically acclaimed BBC drama The A Word, for which she was again nominated for a BAFTA Scotland Award, playing the mother of an autistic child. In 2018 she also played Kirsten Lindstrom in Sarah Phelps' production of Agatha Christie's Ordeal by Innocence.

Christie starred as DS Lisa Armstrong, the lead role in the ITV crime drama series The Bay, filmed through the latter months of 2018, and aired on ITV from 20 March 2019.[7] She received her third consecutive BAFTA Scotland nomination for her performance. It was announced on 16 February 2021 that Christie had quit the drama, which had just completed a second series.[8]

She has since completed two independent films and Joe Cornish's 8-part drama Lockwood & Co. for Netflix.[9]
