Suzy Crothers

MAKER - DOER - CREATOR

I am a solo artist, writer, director and collaborator working within theatre and live performance.

I make massive hearted, multidisciplinary work that illuminates unheard stories. 

I make work for ‘Auntie Mary’, who sits in the cheapest seat and comes to see a cracking story unfold.

Fusing movement, music and storytelling, my work explores the clash between lived experiences, illusion and delusion.

If you, like me, are permanently curious, please do get in touch and whilst you're here, check out my current work, Have a Nice Death and the Less Alone, More Alive! project.

BIO

I’m an actor/ director/ writer turned multidisciplinary performance maker. 

I’ve trained with Bryony Kimmings and Haley McGee.  I was shortlisted for The Abbey Begins workshop at The Abbey and Pintsized Octoberfest Playwriting competition at The Bunker Theatre, both in 2019.

Actor training at E15 (BA Acting), EACT (European Actors Continuous Training in conjunction with RADA, IIPA and The Actor’s Centre) and Director training under Di Trevis (The Workshop).

I’m an invited member of the Lincoln Centre Director Lab NYC (2014), Young Vic Springboard Group for Directors (2013) and the Tamasha Developing Writer Group (2012).  

I’ve directed other people’s work on the London fringe and have worked with writers like Brad Birch, Charlie Josephine, Izzy Tennyson, Rabiah Hussain and Harriet Madeley.  With acting, I worked in the UK and Ireland for places like The Lyric, The Lowry and BBC Radio.  My writing has been performed at venues such as The Pleasance, The Arcola, The Spoken Space and The Mac.

So excited to say that 'Troubled' has been programmed by Summerhall for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  the show is also touring to venues throughout the UK, more of which can be found on the 'Troubled' page.  Troubled has a magnificent creative team and is being Executive Produced by Roisin Gallagher (BAFTA and IFTA nominated actress from ITV's The Dry and Sky's The Lovers) and Patrick Handley is on board as well.  

 

In June 25, I was really pleased to be offered a bursary to attend the BIGSPD (British and Irish Group for the Study of Personality Disorder) conference in Liverpool, where Annie Sutton and I presented a poster sharing our work on creative wellbeing tools from the 'Less Alone, More Alive!' project with clinicians and lived experience attendees from all over the UK and Ireland. 

 

June has also seen the release of 'Thirst Trap' by Grainne O'Hare, which i have had the pleasure to narrate.  more on the voice work page.
