Emma Rice
Michael Berkeley's guest is the theatre director Emma Rice.
The theatre director Emma Rice is renowned for her bold stagings of much-loved films and books including Brief Encounter, Wuthering Heights and the Red Shoes.
For twenty years she worked as an actor, director, and eventually artistic director of Kneehigh, an international touring company based in Cornwall, known for its energetic productions with an inventive use of music and puppetry.
In 2016, Emma became artistic director of Shakespeare鈥檚 Globe, the reconstructed Elizabethan theatre on the south bank of the Thames - although her tenure there ended after two years following disagreements with the board.
She has since founded her own touring theatre company, Wise Children, whose recent productions include The Buddha of Suburbia and Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest.
Emma's musical passions include Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Mozart and Bach.
