Nora Wardell

Director Theatre-maker Dramaturg

I'm a freelance director, theatre-maker and dramaturg.

In 2019, I founded Surrogate Production, an Edinburgh-based touring theatre company, dedicated to sharing international voices and new dramatic forms.

I'm interested in adaptation, new writing and co-creation.
