Ellice Stevens

Writer / Director

Represented by:

Jessica Stewart
Ellice is a queer and neurodivergent writer originally from Portsmouth. She also works as a director, performer and dramaturg. She loves grappling with big, complicated stories and finding ways to tell them on a personal level with humour, heart and empathy.

Recently, she directed a national and international tour of MACBETH for The HandleBards.

Ellice is co-Artistic Director of the multi-award-winning theatre company Breach, co-writing and co-creating their theatre productions which have toured nationally and internationally. She has also been co-writer on three short films which have been hosted on sites such as The Guardian (WE DID NOT CONSENT) and premiered at festivals such as BFI Flare (GAIA).

Highlights for Breach have included: AFTER THE ACT, a verbatim musical which toured nationally before running at Royal Court Theatre, London; IT’S TRUE, IT’S TRUE. IT’S TRUE which was awarded a Scotsman Fringe First and The Stage Edinburgh Award; and TANK, a Scotsman Fringe First Winner.

She is currently co-writing BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE which will open at The Schwarzman Centre, Oxford in September 2026 as part of their inaugural season.
