Early life and education

Career

In 2013, Englert made her Off-Broadway debut in Julie Taymor's A Midsummer Night's Dream at Theatre for a New Audience.[3] She received rave reviews for her performance as Hermia opposite Kathryn Hunter's Puck, with The New York Times' Ben Brantley praising her "knockout comic performance as a sexually teasing Hermia,"[4] and The Hollywood Reporter calling her "dizzy Hermia" the "standout".[5] The production was later made into a feature film with limited theatrical release.[6]

Shortly after the run of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Englert was cast in Theatre for a New Audience's Off-Broadway production of King Lear in the role of Cordelia opposite Michael Pennington, again garnering positive acclaim as a "youthfully severe Cordelia" with "a faun-like vulnerability".[7] [8] She then played Cissy Franks in the MCC Theater's Off-Broadway run of the English play Punk Rock to positive reviews.[9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

In 2016, Englert played the role of Marina in Theatre for a New Audience's Off-Broadway production of Pericles.[14] [15]

Englert made her professional film debut in the 2017 romantic comedy film The Wilde Wedding opposite Patrick Stewart, Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Minnie Driver and Orange Is the New Black's Yael Stone.[16] In 2017, she also performed in the Off-Broadway world premiere of Fuck Marry Kill. The play was developed at the Lincoln Center Lab and Playwrights Horizons in New York City.[17] [18] [19]

She appeared in the 2018 historical drama film Ask for Jane. The film is based on the true story of the Jane Collective.[20]
