Kate Valentine, Director

As a director, I specialise in new writing and multimedia. Starting Digital Drama in 2013 has enabled us to pursue a passion for telling stories on a variety of platforms for an audience who love to be immersed in different worlds. From recording the 8 part audio drama Peace in Our Time in a basement bar in Soho to directing new writing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I particularly enjoy the co-creative process. I have worked in a variety of theatres from the London Fringe to the Stephen Joseph in Scarborough and the National Theatre. At the BBC, I developed and produced plays for Radio 4 and Radio 3 such as Tiananmen Square, The Bayeux Tapestry and Frederick and Augusta. In 2023 I completed my postgraduate research at the University of York, exploring the use of digital practices in community performance.

Alison Ramsey,  Producer

My background is in documentary making at the BBC and I specialise in making films using archive and interviews which are used in exhibitions and installations for institutions such as the National Archives, the Royal Albert Hall and the Museum of London. My film Deeds not Words: The Suffragette Surgeons of WWI won Best Archive Film Award at the IWM Short Film Festival. I am currently completing a CHASE funded PhD in critical and creative practice into media representations of menopause at the University of Sussex, where my work has achieved an Adam Weiler Doctoral Impact Award for research excellence and the potential to achieve outstanding academic impact. The 40-minute film made as part of my research project, Menopause: The Movie, incorporates oral histories and archive footage.
