This was followed by roles as Blousey in Bugsy Malone (2015) at the Lyric Hammersmith, which she alternated with Eleanor Worthington Cox and Thea Lamb,[5][6] and Lily in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (2016) at the Palace Theatre.[7]

Brough was cast as Diane in The Still Room at the Park Theatre in February 2020.[8] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the production was rescheduled to run in 2022.[9] Also that year, Brough made her television debut when she took over the role of Natalia Malinovsky in the BBC One medical soap opera Casualty from Lollie McKenzie.[10]

In 2025, Brough starred as Nell Gwyn in Playhouse Creatures at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond.[11] For her performance, she was nominated for Emerging Talent at the London Standard Theatre Awards.
