LOQUITURTHEATRE - Key Persons

A Drama Centre Alumni, Gemma is an actor, theatre maker and most recently, writer. She is hugely passionate about continuing to break the mould for women in theatre. Inspired by female actor-writers like Pheobe Waller-Bridge and Michaela Coel, she wants to write and perform work addressing important issues. Gemma is currently writing and developing her first solo show Lobster. Gemma also regularly works as a creative enabler with award winning theatre company Access All Areas, creating urban, disruptive performance by learning disabled and autistic artists. Gemma is also one of the creatives currently founding a brand new sister company to Access All Areas continuing this incredible work, with some of the recent graduates of Royal Central School of Speech & Drama. Gemma has an ever growing 'To Do List' and realises that this will most probably have to be written on her tombstone if it will ever get finished. When she isn't busy creating theatre, watching theatre or hanging out at comedy gigs, she can be found perfecting her headstand or gorging on some form of nut butter.

Lizzie is an English/Welsh/American/German director/theatre-maker/forward-slash-lover who was thrilled to join Loquitur in 2016 as Associate Artist and has never looked back. While Gemma and Lou-Lou just cannot believe how lucky they are. Lizzie trained with the National Youth Theatre and graduated from Queen Mary, where she read English and Drama.

Lou-Lou is a Director, Script Developer, Dramaturg and Acting Teacher and if that weren't enough, very occasionally still treads the boards.
