Prue Griffiths
Theatre director
Actor
PR & Communications Specialist
My pronouns are she/her. I'm an early-career theatre director and actor with an interest in new writing and questioning the classics. I'm the founder of Root & Branch Productions, based in West Yorkshire, which has just been awarded ACE funding to tour a show called Danny Echo. I'm 56 so bring a wealth of life experience as a woman who has seen both a lot of change and very little over the decades in terms of the role of women.
