Eleanore Frances

Theatre-Maker & Dramaturg

Hello! I’m Eleanore. I’m a theatre-maker and dramaturg, excited by theatre in all its forms. Originally from Essex, I currently spread my time between East London and the North East of England.

My creative practice focuses on the journey of the making.
My body of work spans genres, but has a focus on devising, dramaturgy, and creative facilitation. 

As a theatre-maker, I am hungry to push the boundaries of storytelling and explore the possibilities of what theatre can be. I have a particular passion for collaborative devising, new writing, and comedy.

Testimonials

  • Eleanore is an asset to any room she's in. She works tirelessly while still managing to bring joy and a sense of play to the work that inspires the company around her to rise to the occasion. She is cerebral as an actor, yet her characters are deeply in her body and grounded through breath. Anyone would be lucky to have her on their team.

    Molly Kinnon
    Director

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Eleanore multiple times and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. As a person she is such a pleasure to have in the room: warm, giving and vulnerable. As an actor she is brave, natural and intoxicating to watch.

  • Not only is Eleanore an incredible talent, but the attitude she brings to the rehearsal room makes working with her a pleasure. A very capable actor as well as a hard working, passionate and lovely person!
