Over the last ten years, Victoria has written and directed acclaimed work across the UK, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands.

​

She was recently Associate Director for Nicolas Kent on Ukraine Unbroken at the Arcola Theatre (2026), a project for which she directed the short play 'Three Mates'  by Natalka Vorozhbit to critical acclaim. As Associate Director, Victoria has also worked with Lucy Bailey on the UK and China tours of Murder on the Orient Express and And Then There Were None (Fiery Angel, Royo).

 

She is the Artistic Director of Will & Co, which she founded in 2015. She has been running Bard in the Bookshop, a growing immersive and accessible Shakespeare project created with Waterstones and staged inside branches nationwide since 2025.

​

She dreamt up Bard in the Yard in the first Covid lockdown of May 2020: two solo plays imagining Shakespeare stuck with writer's block during a plague pandemic. Performed by 35 actors in gardens, schools, care homes and festivals across the UK, it won over audiences and critics alike (The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Independent), with Dame Helen Mirren on board as its patron.

​​

She has been offering Shakespeare workshops for many years, including at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and is passionate about making it feel fresh, playful and accessible to everyone, using movement to unlock the verse. She regularly teaches Acting and Directing Shakespeare at LAMDA, East15, Mountview and IDSA.

​

Victoria hosts the Why Shakespeare? podcast chatting with artists, academics and Bard-obsessives of all kinds about their relationship with the great man and his canon. Guests so far include director Lucy Bailey, playwright Ken Ludwig and the Globe's Dr Will Tosh.

​

Victoria has an MA in English Literature specialising in Shakespearean studies, and a degree in Dramaturgy and Directing.
