Laura Turner

Writer Actor Producer

I am a playwright, screenwriter and actor exploring the female experience with a multi-disciplinary approach to ask questions about the way we use language, space and place to define ourselves. The female voice and female gaze are always at the heart of my work. My pronouns are she/her. I am also a producer and dramaturg, and I have my own theatre company, Fury Theatre, with a focus on "female stories told with fire" - www.furytheatre.co.uk.
