She then toured the UK with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre[4] playing the role of Constance Neville in She Stoops to Conquer[5] alongside Liza Goddard.

Further productions include Mrs Reynolds and the Ruffian at The Watford Palace Theatre,[7] and Rosaline in the Guildford Shakespeare Company production of Love's Labour's Lost.[8]

In 2011 Hemingway was chosen to represent The Old Vic in New York City as part of its TS Eliot US/UK exchange project.[9] She went on to play Rita in the Chichester Festival Theatre world premiere of The Syndicate with Ian McKellen and Fog, a play by Toby Wharton and Tash Fairbanks directed by Ché Walker and produced at Finborough Theatre in 2012. Hemingway is the voice of numerous audiobooks for BBC AudioGo including Witch Crag, Katya's World and Alice: Spooks. In 2013 and 2014 Hemingway was one of the ten actor involved in the Spanish Golden Age Season which was a co-production between the Theatre Royal, Bath and the Arcola Theatre directed by Laurence Boswell and Mehmet Ergen.
