Early life

Holcroft studied Biology at the University of Edinburgh.[1] During her time as a student she wrote two plays for the Edinburgh University Theatre Company and was part of the Traverse Theatre's young writers group. Initially intending to study for a Ph.D., she questioned her choices and took a year out from education, during which time she was commissioned for her first play.
