About

Catriona is a Scottish director, actor, and theatre-maker based in Glasgow.

Her work has also included sold-out and award-nominated musicals at the Edinburgh Fringe. Alongside her freelance practice, she is Associate Director (Youth & Creative Projects) at Reconnect Theatres.

She is especially drawn to female-driven stories and loves exploring themes like relationships, women’s health, and the imperfect moments of growing up.

Collaboration is a huge part of Catriona’s process, and she encourages actors to bring their ideas into the room so we can build something together. She aims to make a space that feels thoughtful and welcoming for everyone involved.

Catriona is currently developing her first original play, surrounding female mental health.
