“Annie Siddons is the person you want in a room.
Always.
Meeting and working with Annie has been one of the highlights of my theatre career.
Besides being a mensch in every sense, she is the person that bonds a room, brings the people and all their disparate parts together.
As a writer her work is astonishing, intellectual mythic and fiercely funny. I first met her as an actor playing Rapunzel which she wrote for Kneehigh Theatre - always supportive, quietly drawing out the most compelling narrative, making you feel as if you’ve written it yourself. But you didn’t.
As a collaborator on my first autobiographical show, she has a slow cook approach, letting the story seep into your bones, midwifing the narrative into being. I felt as if I wrote it all myself. But I didn’t.
As a writer and performer of her own work, she understands what makes for gorgeous drama and painfully truthful comedy.
Her gifts as a writer and artist are immeasurable.
Her award winning plays are performed across the UK and artists of all backgrounds are queuing up to work with her.
Obvs, she’s the person you want in the room.”
