72 Quotes by Marianne Elliott

I am quite an insecure person, and I think that, like any director, if I'm asked about my vision for a piece, I feel very vulnerable.

Staging any play is very exposing because, if you are going to do it well, you have to put so much of yourself into it.

My generation feels it has been lied to a great deal.

I used to love getting older.

I worked in casting for about five years before I became a director, and that taught me a huge amount because you never actually will see the character walk through the door - and if you do, then you have to be slightly suspicious of that.

I would like to see more female stories out there, particularly older female stories.

It's predominantly a male society, predominately a male culture, predominantly a male theatre, and predominantly male critics, but that's changing, definitely.

I'm always drawn to female stories with female protagonists, and I particularly yearn for more older actresses to take centre stage in 2018.

I hope for continued bravery and risk-taking for all theatremakers in 2018 and beyond.
