Kendrick played Anne Frank in the 2009 miniseries The Diary of Anne Frank. She said that her approach to playing Frank was to "peel back the layers of idolisation and to think of the characters just as normal people". Her performance was praised for "bringing fresh realism to an iconic role".^[3]

In 2009, she made her stage début as Juliet in a Shakespeare's Globe production of Romeo and Juliet.^[4] In December 2010, she played maid Ivy Morris in BBC One's revival of Upstairs Downstairs. She did not return for the second series, broadcast in 2012.

Kendrick also played the part of Helen in the final season of Misfits.^[7]

Kendrick's first play, Hole, premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 2018 under the direction of Helen Goalen and Abbi Greenland.^[11]^[12] The play combines Greek mythology and physics to explore female rage and oppression.^[13]^[14] She wrote the play in 2016 as part of a writing group with the Royal Court.^[15]
