About

Welcome! I’m Anna, a theatre director, producer, and emerging artist facilitator with a deep love for immersive and site-specific work. Through my work, I aim to bring existing, everyday spaces to life by uncovering and sharing the important stories that have been hidden within them.

As the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Four Wheel Drive Theatre, I’ve been lucky enough to be the driving force behind some amazing projects (pun intended). From founding the Friargate Creative Hub to launching the CONNECT Festival, I’ve been all about creating opportunities for artists in York to meet, collaborate and make their best work.

With five years of experience in the theatre industry and an MA in Directing from the University of York, I bring both expertise and enthusiasm to every project. My goal? To make sure you don’t just see a piece of theatre, but you live it. I love uncovering hidden stories that breath life into spaces.

When I’m not buried in a script or transforming a forgotten space with theatre, you can find me proudly waving the Geordie flag at a Newcastle game, Guinness in hand, shouting at the top of my lungs. It’s all about balance right?

Let’s connect and make something extraordinary together!
