Caroline is a director and dramaturg of new writing. She works closely with writers throughout the development, drafting and rehearsal process, and many of Caroline’s productions of new work have transferred either to the West End (Wipers Times, Bleak Expectations) or gone on to have National Tours and further productions (Trial by Laughter, Radio Times, A Bunch of Amateurs).

She also runs the MA Directing Programme at LAMDA, which has a strong focus on working with living writers and dramaturgy.

In her early career, Caroline ran the literary work at Salisbury Playhouse during her time as Associate there. This culminated in a festival of new work which she directed, and studio and main house productions of two new plays by Mike Acres, both dramaturged and directed by Caroline.

She co-curated and ran a symposium on new writing and the ecology of developing new work with Sarah Dickenson at LAMDA in 2018, which was chaired by Timberlake Wertenbaker.

She has recently worked as dramaturg on several new pieces, including early-stage dramaturgy on A Place for Me by Anne Odeke and The Invincibles by Amanda Whittington.

Caroline’s literary practice is inclusive, collaborative and warm whilst being underpinned with great rigour and structural understanding of plays and playwrighting.
