Pages 178 - 185 │Aeolus, part V│Read by Cressida Brown

Cress was awarded the National Theatre Studio’s Bulldog prinsep bursary in 2007. She directed Macbeth for Shakespeare and Company in 2017.

Work she is most proud of includes :

• Amphibians by Steve Water, inspired by interviews she conducted with former Olympic swimmers about ‘legacy’ in the run up to the 2012 Olympic games and staged in the derelict pool that had previously been hidden under the Bridewell Theatre stage. 
• Walking the Tightrope: the tension between art and politics by writers including Caryl Churchill, April DeAngelis, Timberlake Wertenbaker and Mark Ravenhill about boycott and censorship, staged site-specifically in the old Guardian newspaper offices before transferring to the House of Commons and then the Underbelly. 
• The Political History of Smack and Crack about the 1981 Moss Side riots and the heroin epidemic that then ensued under Thatcher. (Paines Plough Roundabout, Soho Theatre, UK tour of major venues and some prisons)
• Drawing Play a play where the audience turned up to an art masterclass armed with drawing boards and pens. They drew as well as watched, their pictures influencing the action played out before them (Yard Theatre)
• Septimus Bean and His Amazing Machine, where the foyer was magically transformed into a playground for the final scene (unicorn theatre)
