Robyn is a critically acclaimed writer and director from Leeds.

 

Passionate about creating bold, joyful and wildly imaginative theatre, she is drawn to ambitious worlds, theatrical spectacle and stories full of heart.

 

After training as an actor at East 15 Acting School, Robyn began exploring writing and directing. During her second year she wrote her debut musical, Buzz: A Musical History of the Vibrator, which launched both her writing career and several happy years touring the UK with her company, Fat Rascal Theatre.

 

Since then, Robyn’s work has been seen in London’s West End and at theatres and festivals across the UK as well as several international productions of her musical "Unfortunate". Her work has received multiple award nominations, including being shortlisted for the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Award for Best Musical Theatre Book Writing.

 

Specialising in comedy, musical theatre and ambitious theatrical experiences, Robyn takes great joy in collaboration and creating rehearsal rooms filled with curiosity, generosity and playfulness. Recent directing work includes Mischief Theatre's first musical, Thespians, which premiered in May 2026 before embarking on a UK tour.

 

Away from rehearsal rooms, she remains Bargain Hunt’s youngest-ever contestant, a lifelong Stevie Nicks devotee, and the long-suffering personal assistant to a demanding miniature Yorkshire terrier.
