Eleanor Rhode

Director

I'm a London-based director with dual British-American nationality. My keen interests are working with living writers and I try to bring live music into everything I do.
From 2009-2018 I co-founded and ran Snapdragon Productions, with the aim of being unknown and neglected works to new audiences, ranging from small but beautiful shows at the Finborough, to UK national tours and transfers to New York.
I've worked as a freelance director for the last three years, and my work has taken me around the country, overseas, and recently to the RSC.
I'm always up for meeting and finding new collaborators.
