Maxine Peake (born 14 July 1974) is an English stage, radio, film and television actress, who made her name as Twinkle in
Early life
Born in Westhoughton, Greater Manchester, Peake is the second of two daughters born to Brian and Glenys Peake (née Hall).[5] Her father was a lorry driver before working in the electrical industry, her mother a part-time careworker; Lisa, her elder sister by nine years, is a police officer.[5] Her parents separated when Peake was nine and she lived with her mother until the age of 15. When her mother moved in with a new boyfriend several miles away, Peake went to live with her grandfather so she could continue her GCSE studies at Westhoughton High School, before going on to take her A-Levels at Canon Slade School, Bradshaw near Bolton. Her grandfather encouraged her to develop her creativity and start acting.
Peake joined the
Peake's early attempts to enter the acting profession were unsuccessful. She was rejected by every theatre education company in
Later life
In 2009 Peake returned to the north-west, after living in London for 13 years. The move freed her of the financial constraints of trying to buy a house in London. Living in Salford with her art director partner Pawlo Wintoniuk, she says, gave her the freedom to choose more risky roles and lower-paying jobs in theatre. "For the last few years I have been lucky enough to choose what I want to do. Living in Salford gives me the confidence to do that because I don’t have a massive mortgage."[10] In 2014 the actress revealed that in an attempt to have children she had explored every option, including IVF treatments. She has suffered two miscarriages.[11]
Career
Peake has appeared in a number of television and stage productions including
Peake portrayed the
She has played the title role in
In November 2012, a play that Peake had written, directed and starred in about the life of the
Peake provided the vocals for the Eccentronic Research Council's 2012 concept album 1612 Underture about the Pendle Witch Trials[22] and for their 2015 album Johnny Rocket, Narcissist & Music Machine…I’m Your Biggest Fan.[23] Peake also features as a crazed stalker in the music video for "Sweet Saturn Mine"[24] by Moonlandingz; a collaborative effort by Eccentronic Research Council and Fat White Family in 2015.[25]
In September 2013, Peake was appointed an Associate Artist of the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester.[26] Her association with the theatre began in childhood and she was a member of the youth theatre. Major productions in which she has performed include The Children's Hour in 2008, for which she won a MEN Award, and Miss Julie in 2012 for which she won a Manchester Theatre Award. All of her performances at the Royal Exchange have been directed by Sarah Frankcom with whom she also collaborated on The Masque of Anarchy in 2012 for the Manchester International Festival. Building on this work, in September 2014 Frankcom went on to direct her as the title character in a radical re-imagining of Hamlet.[27] The demand for tickets was so great that the production was extended for a week, having been "the theatre’s fastest-selling show in a decade".[28] The Guardian said of her performance: "Peake’s delicate ferocity, her particular mixture of concentration and lightness, ensure that you want to follow her whenever she appears".[29] A year later she appeared in Frankcom's production of The Skriker, as "Caryl Churchill’s shape-shifting, doom-wreaking fairy".[30] The Guardian's Lyn Gardner listed the production in her top ten British plays of the year.[31]
