Sonnie is a freelance director, acting coach and founder of Grindstone, whose original work includes R.I.P (The Kings Head) and The Glasshouse (Tristan Bates, 53Two). She is passionate about unleashing an actors potential and has a rather large crush on all things Shakespearean. 

She strives to make dynamic and powerful theatre, with a populist soul and her work is physically and emotionally bold, visually striking and powerful in aesthetic.

Sonnie is drawn towards stories for women and about women and enjoys subverting plays that are originally written from the male gaze.

“I am inextricably drawn towards telling stories that speak of the wonder of life and love, juxtaposed with loss and longing.” - S.B
