Brave Mirror Productions
Brave Mirror Productions
Brave Mirror is a theatre and production company rooted in Bristol and London. The focus of the company is on collaboration: that art cannot, and should not, be made in a vacuum. Our projects are old stories, told in new ways, and with new voices. The company is led by Jamie Saul (Artistic Director), and Thomas Duggan (Executive Producer).
I support the Creative Director Jamie Saul and Executive Producer Thomas Duggan. I lead on the marketing and social media management of the company. I do this alongside facilitating productions assisting creative direction and administration in the productions.
Our next project will bring 2023 smash-hit 'Attention Span' to the Camden Fringe!

Lady's Fingers Tour - 2024/2025
Attention Span - Camden Fringe 2024
Attention Span - Camden Fringe 2024
A show about feeling like an adult and a baby at the same time, and how sometimes you just need to grow up and eat your vegetables.
Beans on toast. Again. You sit down and eat your dinner alone.
But you’ve forgotten to turn on a YouTube video... because you’re eating alone... so now all you’re thinking about is how you’re so old but so young... and all alone... and really need a good impressive job that makes you enough money... but also you hate all the jobs that you can find online because they’re boring and corporate and you don’t wanna work for THE MAN...anyway.
"LADY'S FINGERS'" saw a sold out run in Bristol, and is in the process of touring across the UK in London and Birmingham.
Praise for Lady's Fingers:
"An evening with my younger self" - Audience review
"Samuel Beckett meets Dolly Alderton" - Audience review
"Heavily nostalgic" - ChrisReviews

'Lady's Fingers'
'Attention All Passengers'
'Attention All Passengers'
For Penny Drop Productions
A show about feeling like an adult and a baby at the same time, and how sometimes you need to grow up and eat your vegetables.
Described by audiences as "Samuel Beckett meets Dolly Alderton" and "an evening with my younger self" by audience members".
Following a sold-out run in Bristol, Penny Drop Productions will be bringing the show on tour.

'The Ponds'
'Attention All Passengers'
'Show His Eyes'
For Daily Bread Theatre
A man’s body is found drifting in The Ponds, an apparently idyllic, female-only bathing space, hidden from sight by trees. Who he is, or how he got there is anyone’s guess.
This is not a murder mystery, rather an exploration of female fantasy and spaces and what happens when they are disrupted.
“Scintillating set of characters and witty writing … perfect fusion of comedy and meaning.”
- Epigram

'Show His Eyes'
'Little Women, And Us'
'Show His Eyes'
The Weird Sisters live in the Theatre. Banquo and Macbeth seek to dominate and exploit.
Semi-immersive and using live-feed video as a male lens, Show His Eyes confronts the entitled and exploitative response of patriarchal forces when met with an ambiguous yet decisively female-coded power. Using the encounters between these men and the Weird Sisters, ‘looking’ becomes a form of currency - a means of control and domination. Show His Eyes interrogates the ecofeminist concern that the domination of land parallels the domination of women.
The Wickham Theatre, Bristol, May 2023
'Little Women, And Us'
'Little Women, And Us'
'Little Women, And Us'
A devised piece about adaptation, and how sometimes the actor might not fit the role. Using original text from the literary classic ‘Little Women’, this piece explored the embodied experience of being a women and performers. This piece had a lot of layers in it, using projections of personal home-videos (that look terrible in the production photos!) brought by the cast onto the ‘Little Women’ set, puppetry and movement.
