Cerys Baker

Director Producer Writer

(She/Her) Cerys is a London based theatre director from South Wales. In 2022 she founded In-A-Pickle, a theatre company focused on producing unique, topical and boundary pushing work by female identifying artists.

Following graduating from Goldsmiths in 2020, she has directed and produced work that has debuted at both Edinburgh and Camden Fringe Festivals. Cerys is primarily interested in new work and modern adaptations of classics. She is drawn to stories that engage with socio-political topics she is passionate about and believes that theatre should challenge and question the world we live in.


At this stage in her career, she is enjoying the freedom of experimentation and above all, utilizing every opportunity that comes her way to develop her craft and identity as an artist.
