Kate Glover studied History at Oxford University. After 3 years as a History teacher in secondary schools, she taught English to International business people in Paris, Trieste, Rome and even far-flung Tbilisi in Georgia before deciding to train as an actress at the age of 36.

Her need for Equity membership prompted her to write a play Dear Chocolate Soldier. She toured this with another actress and they both got the coveted Equity card.
