Elly Roberts

Hello- I’m Elly, I’m a graduate of the BA acting course at Royal Welsh, based in London and represented by ITG.

I particularly love work that explores:
- nuanced family relationships
- intimacy
- education
- justice
- artificial intelligence
- climate/ environment

I’ve been working as a Production Assistant with Francesca Moody Productions for the last year and a half and particularly enjoyed being responsible for reading and giving feedback to unsolicited scripts and watching plays with new writing that we were invited to: I now enjoy providing support as an actor, director and dramaturg in R&Ds and rehearsals.

I’ve also been working in facilitation as a youth theatre director for the last decade. I am always on the lookout for new games and approaches to rehearsals. I’m DBS checked, First Aid trained, Youth Mental Health certified, have a chaperoning licence, and have nannying/ childcare experience.

As a Freelancer the organisations I’ve worked with include the Casting Directors’ Guild, Francesca Moody Productions, Rose Theatre Kingston, Orange Tree Theatre; NYT (National Youth Theatre), We Are Fio, RWCMD and Shene Stage School.

Please get in touch if you’d like to collaborate together, get a hot drink, or if I can watch/ read your play- it’d make me very happy!
