“Rigour and integrity run through Emily’s blood stream and she is one of best people I know at research and cross referencing academic and creative writing. Digital Theatre recently commissioned her to create their Shakespeare Guides which involved curating hundreds of hours of content and assembling it into a useful resource for teachers and students. The Shakespeare Guides are works of art in themselves due to Emily’s head and heart bringing them to life.”
