EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
LISA MAGUIRE
As Executive Producer at National Theatre Wales I have overseen the creation of over 40 multi artform productions. From the intimate to the epic, in an extraordinary range of locations across Wales, internationally and online. I joined the company in 2013, from Frantic Assembly where I had the great joy of being Executive Producer for seven years.
I have also worked at the Young Vic and Lyric Hammersmith theatres. My work as an independent producer includes projects with the Manchester International Festival, The Work Theatre Collective and on the London fringe. I have a degree in Drama & Theatre Arts from Goldsmiths College, University of London. I am a trustee of Common Wealth.
Highlights of my time at NTW include Tonypandemonium, The Gathering/Yr Helfa, Mametz, Iliad, City of the Unexpected, We’re Still Here, Refrain & On Bear Ridge.
I’m thrilled to be joining Holly and the team at Headlong. It’s been an honour to be a part of the National Theatre Wales journey. Connecting with the incredible people and places of Wales, and collaborating with remarkable theatre makers and communities to create extraordinary experiences. I’m excited about working with Holly to explore how a producing powerhouse like Headlong can respond to the challenges this moment presents for reaching out to audiences across the UK and the opportunities of contributing positively towards a fairer, more equal and more sustainable theatre community. All whilst retaining the bold and original storytelling the company is renowned for.
