Further work includes Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream in Hyde Park, London, & Mary as she ages from 14 to 65 in the radio play Departures. She played Mollie, a trouble-making servant girl in The Ballade of Mary Whyddon - an indie feature film due for release later in 2016. Jennifer is currently co-writing a sitcom, which has received attention from the BBC, BBC Worldwide, BigTalk, Hat Trick, Lucky Giant, Retort, & Ricky Gervais' Producer, amongst others.
