I've worked at The Rep over the last five years, and I know that the theatre can be both a truly local resource and a national centre of excellence, providing the best and most varied entertainment for the City, the West Midlands and its many communities. It is a theatre that has a significant impact on the rest of the country." She has worked at the Rep before, having been an associate director.
