Alice Fitzgerald

I’m a Director and Dramaturg, and work mostly with new writing.

In 2022 I was nominated for Best Director at the Stage Debut Awards for my work on Purple Snowflakes and Titty Wanks (a Royal Court and Abbey Theatre co-production).

I’m currently a co-mentor for The 2024 New Dramaturgs Group at Sheffield Theatres.

I have scoliosis and chronic pain, and am particularly interested in working on disabled-led theatre.

My pronouns are she/her.
