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.

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).
