Francesca is a Welsh, working class theatre director and the previous Associate Artistic Director of Theatr Clwyd.
She trained at The National Theatre Directors Course and The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. She co-founded The Far Away Plays – an online play reading company that champions Welsh and Wales based creatives – with a view to revisit existing Welsh plays and discussing the place for those classics for today.
Francesca creates multi discipline, non-naturalistic theatre that champions unheard voices. She is interested in extraordinary real-life stories from everyday people. She enjoys working with new writing and reimagined classics and her work usually incorporates music and movement.
She will be directing BYMT’s upcoming production of Worn Out at LOWRY this August.
