Jessica Murdoch
DirectorI'm Jess Murdoch, she/her, an actor and director originally from Manchester and now based in London.
My most recent directing project was my adaptation of Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors', which toured around schools and universities in the USA for a month before returning to do a home run in the ADC Theatre (Cambridge).
The work I most enjoy involves devising and physical theatre, and projects in which the cast and crew work closely and collaboratively to create and grow innovative and provocative pieces.
