Executive Director

Maddy is very proud to be Executive Director of a company with 20 years heritage, supported by the committed team at Heartbreak HQ in the Cultural Quarter, Leamington Spa and to have been a driving force behind diversifying the artistic output of the company in recent years.

Maddy graduated from London University in 1987 and then went onto drama school . In 1991 in association with Peter Mimmack, she raised the curtain on Heartbreak Productions and in so doing realised a long held ambition to create theatre in the open air; a passion heavily influenced by childhood trips to The Minack Theatre in West Cornwall.

Those early days of being responsible for only themselves and six actors seem light years away when looking at the current Heartbreak world. Leading the company forward and developing the film, educational and training elements of the work is her major focus over the next two years. With the development of Spencer Yard fast approaching she would also like to bed the company deeper within the local community and has a number of interesting projects to keep her out of mischief. Although she is occasionally allowed out of the office to don her “roleplay hat” and interact with the real world!
