Marianne Elliott OBE
Award-winning Theatre Director and co-owner of Elliott & Harper Productions
Marianne Elliott has directed and produced a host of theatrical productions for the Royal Exchange and National Theatres before co-founding Elliott and Harper Productions in 2017.
Marianne has won numerous awards for her work including the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Play for the Broadway production of War Horse in 2011, along with co-director Tom Morris. In 2015, she won the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Play for a second time, winning for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which also won Best Play and Best Actor for Alex Sharp. For the same production, she won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Director in 2013.

What I remember about Stockport Grammar very, very fondly is that it was like a kind of opening of the door and a broadening of the mind. I had some amazing teachers.
Elliott was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2018 Birthday Honours for services to theatre.
