Eleri B. Jones

Hello! I'm a Welsh/Northern director, originally trained as an actor at Drama Centre after getting a first class BA Honours in Drama and Screen from the University of Manchester. I've been based down in London for the last 7 years and have recently moved back up north for the Trainee Directorship at Theatr Clwyd, which finishes in 2021. Really interested in connecting with other creatives, both local and national!
