Monica Cox

Director Writer Dramaturg

Hello! I’m an Theatre and Film industry professional, who regardless of the role, am focussed on unique and complex stories which captivate hearts and stimulate minds.

I’m interested in but not limited by themes of human connection, belonging and identity and my work is often characterised by the female/queer voice & gaze.

My practice is collaborative and story focussed. I believe in pushing artistic boundaries by bringing new ways of innovating our current day perceptions of story.

Being half English and half Spanish and having studied Russian at university, my interest in languages feeds into my vision of how I intend the stories I work on to transcend cultural barriers and celebrate distinct cultural and diverse perspectives.
