Grace Taylor

I think it’s always a tremendous privilege when a client becomes a friend. With Grace, I think it happened because of how we got together in the first place. We had met, several times over the years at various musical theatre nights and showcases and every time I was looking for a director for a project, Grace’s name came up. Eventually I asked her if she would direct a workshop for me and I got to watch her work close up. With her vision and attention to detail, her passion and commitment to the project and her enthusiasm and love for actors, it was pretty obvious we would work well together.

Since then we’ve coffee-ed and cried together, vented frustrations, put the world to rights over long, long phone calls, seen great shows together and terrible shows together and she’s still one of the most inspiring creatives I’ve ever met. I love working with Grace, whether it’s on Six in the West End, trying to sort her travel itinerary for her work abroad, hearing about what stage every one of her fourteen thousand projects are at, sharing dog tips. Everyone needs a Grace.

You can find Grace in London’s West End, where she is the Associate Director on Six, or in a cramped garret writing a musical with composer Tim Gilvin, or running around London’s theatres organising a hundred different people. She’s amazing and unstoppable and exhausting and I wouldn’t have her any other way.
