She/Her
I’m a young theatre director and actor based in the North West but originally from a small town called Mansfield in the Midlands. I’m interested in making work that is not only about, but is actually appealing to working class audiences. Short, bite-sized pieces that feel easy to watch but still drive home some really exciting and important subject matters. I want to be a part of making theatre that feels like home. I also own a children’s entertainment company named Storybook, through which I aim to start producing family events and interactive activities.
