Rosie Mullaney

Rosie (she/her) is an actor, writer, director and facilitator based in Bristol. She is a member of theatre company Coin Toss Collective, who formed through the Made in Bristol theatre-making residency at Bristol Old Vic. CTC's ACE-funded show 'FREAK OUT!' (“a brilliantly chaotic farewell to the East Anglia coast from an ingenious young company” ★★★★★ Broadway World) was nominated for Show of the Week at VAULT Festival 2023, and will begin a UK tour in spring 2024.

This summer, Rosie co-wrote and co-directed Coin Toss Collective's co-production with White City Youth Theatre, 'Summer Collection', which was performed at the Bush Theatre in July 2023. Recently, she directed and acted in multiple short plays in Bristol Old Vic's first ever staff showcase (also an industry event).

Creatively, she is interested in making work which blends different mediums of theatre to interrogate contemporary social issues, modern relationships and the female experience. She is currently open to work as an actor, facilitator and director/assistant director in Bristol (and the South West), Cardiff and London.
