Sarah is a Freelance Director, Dramaturg, Producer, and Writer working across Theatre, Film, and TV.

Formerly Associate Director and Creative Development Coordinator at Theatr Cymru (Welsh language National Theatre), she has collaborated with companies including the Sherman Theatre, Theatr Clwyd, Bristol Old Vic, Wales Millennium Centre and the National Theatre. Her work spans new writing, reimagined classics, children’s theatre, dance, outdoor arts, site-specific and multidisciplinary projects, with a focus on thought-provoking, heartfelt storytelling that champions underrepresented voices and accessible arts.

Recent highlights include directing Mererid Hopwood’s Welsh translation of The Caucasian Chalk Circle, featuring original music composed and performed live by Gwenno, working as Staff Director to Dominic Cooke at the National Theatre, and developing a bilingual dance-theatre piece in Welsh and BSL. She has extensive experience nurturing writers and artists, leading new writing and directing initiatives, and was mentored by Kate Leys and Anna Seifert-Speck through a script development course with BBC Writersroom.

She has directed an award-winning short fiction film and a short documentary for BBC Wales, as well as receiving a Ffilm Cymru Beacon Development Award to develop a new short film. Experienced in both lecturing and workshop facilitation, she has taught and led creative sessions across universities, schools, and community settings.

Originally from rural mid-Wales, she is inspired by nature, music, motherhood and Welsh history, culture, and identity, weaving these themes throughout her work. Now returning to freelancing after starting a family, she has also begun working as a writer and is currently developing an immersive show for babies and their caregivers, a new play about the joy and challenges of early motherhood through music and an outdoor promenade theatre production exploring the Earth’s 4.6 billion history.
