Cara is a director from the South West creating politically engaged contemporary theatre through collaborative, character driven storytelling. Her work centres underrepresented voices and creates rehearsal spaces rooted in care, curiosity, and play. Drawn to both adaptation and new writing, she reimagines text through a contemporary lens to uncover fresh perspectives.
She trained at the Bristol School of Acting and graduated with First Class Honours from the University of Exeter. She is currently developing new writing to be performed at the Cockpit Theatre as part of Camden Fringe this August.
Director credits include Island Town (Bristol Old Vic), Vino Veritas (Edinburgh Fringe Festival), Carrie: The Musical (Exeter Northcott Barnfield), and Woyzeck (Roborough Studios).
Assistant Director: The Taming of the Shrew (Kay House Theatre), Bakkhai (Bristol School of Acting / Tobacco Factory Theatres), Macbeth / Twelfth Night (The Station)
