Hello!

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

I originally trained as an Actor at East 15 before completing a Masters in Directing at The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Since then, I’ve worked widely across the UK and internationally as a theatre-maker.

I was nominated for Best Director at the Off West End Awards for my production of The Ugly One by Marius von Mayenburg and was the 2024 Jerwood Assistant Director at the Young Vic. I’ve worked with theatres such as Sheffield Theatres, Bristol Old Vic, Soho Theatre, Ustinov Studio, Marylebone Theatre, Royal & Derngate and Nottingham Playhouse.

Much of my work is influenced by European theatre, shaped by my training in Lecoq & Gaulier, where devising is central to the creative process. I’m drawn to stories that explore the female experience in ways that feel surprising and truthful. I believe our stages should reflect women as richly complex, messy, and conflicted as any of their counterparts.

I direct new writing, adapt classics, and create interdisciplinary work exploring the relationship between body, text, architecture, music, and design.

My work is instinctive and alive — buzzing with energy and often laced with humour.

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