Hello.

I’m Natalie (Nat) an award-nominated British-Italian Theatre Director.

I originally trained as an Actor at East 15 before completing my Masters in Directing at The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. I have worked extensively across the UK and internationally as a theatre-maker.

In 2023 I directed ‘The Ugly One’ by Marius von Mayenburg at The Hope Theatre where I was nominated for Best Director in the Off West End Awards. I am a supported artist by Sheffield Theatres, the Bristol Old Vic and have been a Jerwood Assistant Director at the Young Vic.

Much of my work is influenced by European theatre having trained in Lecoq & Gaulier where all the work was created by us, the ensemble. I’d like to create more stories centring around the female experience in unexpected ways. I believe we should always be striving to fill our stages with women just as messy, complicated, and conflicted as any of their counterparts.

My work has a liveness to it, making you feel alive. It fizzes and it shakes you but it is ultimately very playful and often filled with lots of humour. I direct whatever feels right and create interdisciplinary work, exploring the relationship between body, text, architecture, music and design.

I am Patrick Marber’s Associate Director and the Revival Director of the Olivier nominated Best Production ‘What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank’.
