Nadia is a theatre maker and film director. She trained as a director at RADA under Bill Gaskill. She works exclusively in new writing, and has worked for buildings & companies including the Almeida, Royal Shakespeare Company, National, Bush, Theatre503 and Arcola.
She is currently the Genesis director at the Young Vic Theatre, and will direct Jackie Sibblies Drury’s Pulitzer prize winning play FAIRVIEW in the main house at the end of this year.
