Bridie Shine

Actor Director

Hi! I'm Bridie, a forthright, innovative and passionate, born n' bred Southeast London artist. I cut my teeth at the Edinburgh Fringe (Young Pleasance) and the University of Exeter, where my highlights included directing 'Bonnie and Clyde (Exeter Phoenix), writing and directing 'Traces: A New Musical' (T3 Festival), and being Artistic Director of Shotgun Theatre. I star in Mannequin Mouth's debut feature film 'Mother Maker Lover Taker', premiering at the Unrestricted View Film Festival this May. Theatre Credits include: 'Port' (Maketank), 'Singin' in the Rain' (Exeter Northcott) and Be My Baby' (Maketank). You'll find me at the piano or writing for my arts journalism blog 'Hot Ticket'.
