About me

Danielle is a queer, Neurodiverse Northern theatre maker.

Since graduating from LAMDA. She has specialised in new writing, with organizations including: The RSC, Royal Court, Traverse Festival, Camden People's Theatre, Hull Truck & Theatre 503.

Danielle’s debut play ‘Children of the Night’ has been shortlisted for the Women's Playwriting Prize & the NDT Untapped Award. Danielle is the joint artistic director of Mad Friday Productions, a collective that champions northern based female artists and narratives. Her second play ‘Window Pain’ has received a seed commission from Sheffield Theatres and LAMDA’s MishMash Festival.

Danielle was a member of social activist theatre company LUNG, with whom she developed E15 and The 56 winning the 'Spotlight’s Most Promising Actor' award in 2015.
She also worked with ‘From the Gut Theatre’, to deliver and facilitate wellbeing retreats for underprivileged artists, offering them the space, time and mentorship to work on their next pieces.

Some notable times she’s ‘just acted’ include playing Judith in Ben Elton’s Olivier nominated ‘The Upstart Crow’ in the West End and lots of wenches at Shakespeare's Globe.

On screen, she next appears in the highly anticipated ‘Masters of the Air’ for apple TV, produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. She likes to think Mr Spielberg is a fan, as he gave her her first ever job on Ready Player One, which is to date, the coolest thing to ever happen to her.

In 2021 she was nominated in the Acting category for the 'Evening Standard's Future Theatre Award'. In 2024 she was nominated for the Ian Charlson Award, for her work at Shakespeares Globe.
