Francesca Goodridge

Francesca is a Welsh, working class theatre director and the previous Associate Artistic Director of Theatr

Clwyd.  She was the first recipient of the Carne Traineeship for Directors in Wales, mentored by Tamara Harvey and Trainee Director at The Other Room theatre in Cardiff.  

Francesca creates multi discipline, non-naturalistic theatre that champions unheard voices.  She is interested in extraordinary real-life stories from everyday people. She enjoys working with new writing and

reimagined classics. Her work usually incorporates music and movement.

Francesca has recently been selected on the inaugural Warner Bros. Discovery Access programme in partnership with Waterloo Road and the BBC, mentored by directors Jude Weng and Jesse

Quinones focusing on directing for TV.
