Twelfth Night

Roberta is a theatre director born in Vilnius, Lithuania and now based in London – by way of Spain and Germany.

She creates work that is physically and visually playful, politically (big and small P) engaged, irreverent, messy, full of heart. It is often interdisciplinary, exploring the synergy and juxtaposition between text, body, architecture, music, and design. Collaboration and play is at the heart of her practice, whether working on new or extant stories and texts.

Her work has been performed at the National Theatre, Almeida theatre, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Soho Playhouse NYC, Pleasance Theatre, Vault Festival, Jackson’s Lane, libraries and community venues around the country, and online.

As an assistant and associate director, Roberta has worked in the West End, Shakespeare’s Globe, Royal Shakespeare Company, Arcola Theatre and Nevill Holt Opera. She has assisted Rachel Bagshaw, Owen Horsley, Adele Thomas, Sean Holmes, Marieke Audsley, and Angus Jackson.

As a transdisciplinary collaborator, she has extensive experience of creative facilitation and education consultation. Learning and pedagogy are ongoing loves of Roberta, and her work with numerous national and international organisations as a workshop leader and programme creator.

In addition to her directing and facilitator work, she’s also co-artistic director of Crow’s Nest Theatre Company which focuses on making adventurous new work for children (of all ages!).

William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s preeminent dramatist. He is often called England’s national poet and the “Bard of Avon”. His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
