Maddie Wakeling is an actor, theatre maker and community theatre facilitator. She is drawn to theatre that can hold messy and complicated ideas without trying to force them into unity. She makes physical, political work. Her writing blends poetry with playful dialogue and she loves telling stories.
Maddie grew up in Glastonbury and is very influenced by that heady blend of festival culture, folk lore and seasonal choas. Initially trained as an actor at the Manchester School of Theatre (grad 2018) and is a recent graduate of MA Advanced Theatre Practice at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
