Ella Fraser

Director Writer Producer Actor

Hello, my name is Ella Fraser (she/her). I am an emerging professional who is interested in directing. I was assistant director on a National Theatre Connections play which was performed in the Dorfman as part of NT Connections 2022. I have created and delivered workshops on theatre making for the Royal Exchange and had an Arts Council bid accepted for me to be lead producer on a show about homelessness in Manchester. I am beginning to move into TV and film also.
