Lucie Bar�t is a British actress, writer, lyricist and musician. She is the lead singer of rock group The Au Revoirs. The sister of successful actor/guitarist and singer Carl Bar�t of The Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things, Bar�t won a scholarship to drama school as a teenager. Upon graduation, she started a theatre company with her friends, recruiting Dame Judi Dench as its patron. During 2002 and 2003, Bar�t starred in lead roles in several theatre productions, including Julia in the Duchess of Malfi, Ginny in Relatively Speaking and Robin in Under the Yum Yum Tree. In 2003, she played a bit-part as Helen's handmaiden in Wolfgang Petersen's Hollywood film Troy. Following these appearances, Bar�t put her acting career aside to concentrate on songwriting and music. Bar�t founded the band The Fay Wrays at the beginning of 2005, penning lyrics and melodies for pop singer Alice Temple, who had been looking for a writing partner. The pair subsequently recruited as a second guitarist Cameron "Cammy" Angus, who had previously played in hardcore rock bands Engage and J Loveless and the Heart Attacks.
