Madeleine Herbert

Stage Manager Performer Theatre Director

I am a theatre maker based in Bristol and Frome, Somerset. I am interested in collaborative work and making processes, storytelling and folk tradition within music and theatre!

I work as a freelance Stage Manager and Associate Director for theatre companies in the South West including Wise Children, Roustabout, The Wardrobe Ensemble and the Wardrobe Theatre.

I have also recently made work with Kerchief Theatre in Frome, including a rural tour of 'Boxes' as a performer and a South West tour of 'The Holland Handkerchief', which I directed.

I have also worked in theatre management and youth workshops at the Merlin Theatre in Frome.
