Over the last ten years, Victoria has written and directed work produced in the UK, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands. She is the Artistic Director of Will & Co, which she founded in 2015.

She imagined Bard in the Yard in the first Covid-induced lockdown in May 2020: two solo plays about Shakespeare experiencing writer’s block during a plague pandemic. They have been performed in private gardens, schools, care homes and festivals by 35 actors all over the  UK to great public and critical acclaim (The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Independent), with Dame Helen Mirren as a Godmother.

She has since also developed Bard in the Bookshop, a Shakespeare project in collaboration with Waterstones.

Victoria has been teaching Shakespeare for many years, including at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. She is passionate about giving everyone access to Shakespeare in a fresh and vibrant way, using movement work to unlock verse. She regularly teaches Acting and Directing Shakespeare at LAMDA and East15. She has an MA in English literature with a specialisation in Shakespearean studies as well as a degree in Dramaturgy and Directing.

She was recently Associate Director for Lucy Bailey's productions of Murder on the Orient Express and And Then There Were None (Fiery Angel, Royo), which toured the UK as well as China.
