Subsequently she appeared in Hotel de Love (1996). In 1999, she appeared in the sci-fi Wing Commander (1999), the thriller Deep Blue Sea, and the experimental film The Loss of Sexual Innocence. The following year she appeared in Miss Julie and Timecode.

In 2001, she had roles in Enigma, and Tempted with Burt Reynolds, Peter Facinelli and Michael Arata. In 2004 she played the part of Andromache in the big-budget movie Troy. In Jan 2005 she created the role of Janey in the world premiere of Earthly Paradise at the Almeida Theatre3 and on 30 October 2005 she appeared on stage at the Old Vic theatre in London in a 24-hour play, Night Sky, alongside Christopher Eccleston, Bruno Langley, David Warner, Navin Chowdhry and David Baddiel.

Burrows played attorney Lorraine Weller on ABC's Boston Legal (Season 4) from 2007-2008. She starred on NBC's new series, My Own Worst Enemy with Christian Slater until its cancellation.

In 2008, she appeared in the independent film The Guitar, which made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, as well as in a starring role in the heist film The Bank Job.

Personal life

Burrows is a close friend of politician Tony Benn.4 She is also a socialist and has spoken of her admiration for French Socialist politician Ségolène Royal.5 She joined an anti-racism group when she was 11 years old and she went on to become the Vice President of the National Civil Rights Movement6 and she is a campaigner for disabled rights and equality.

In a 1999 interview with Film Unlimited, Burrows revealed that she has had female lovers.7 For a number of years, she was involved with film director Mike Figgis, and she starred in some of his films, including Miss Julie - one of the first films to experiment with multi-camera views, and Figgis' quad-screen film, Timecode.

Since the ending of that relationship, she has been romantically linked with actress Fiona Shaw.869 Neither actress has publicly confirmed or denied the relationship. The two appeared together in the National Theatre's production of The PowerBook,10 a play based on the novel of the same name by Jeanette Winterson, in which they played lovers. In 2006 the Independent on Sunday listed Burrows as the 90th most influential gay person in the UK,11 despite her having not apparently categorised herself as either gay, straight or bisexual.
