Erica Miller
Director
I’m (she/her) a theatre and film director who works in new writing and contemporary texts. I’m very good at getting actors to relax and excel in performance. Dark comedy is a particular favourite of mine. The form of theatre/film isn’t fixed in what I create, but the making the very best out what I’m given is.

Reviews:
“...captivating production, interspersed with dark humour and romantic scenes, exploring how to tell the truth when lies are more attractive.” Islington Tribune
“Erica Miller’s energetic direction keeps our attention throughout, and she brings wonderful performances out of her talented cast, unfazed by the challenge of alternate performance role swaps.” View from the Cheap Seats
