GEMMA BROCKIS

Gemma often directs her own new work. In this capacity, she is a commissioned writer for the RSC. Her work has travelled internationally. She was a founder of the Shunt collective and shared artistic directorship of the company 2000-2014. She was in the core creative team for all shows.

‘Director Gemma Brockis has an uncanny eye for the mundanely hilarious, and her understated use of physical comedy is extraordinarily effective. Absurdist silliness crafted so exquisitely it becomes high art.’
