About us
Liz Pagett - Creative Director
Liz (she/they) is a disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent writer, designer and researcher, and the producer of Good Trouble’s projects. Currently a part-time student at the Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL studying Design for Performance and Interaction, their research explores the relationship between disability, performance, and digital technology. They are interested in how digital approaches to theatre can both improve access for disabled artists and audiences, and how it can facilitate novel approaches to storytelling that are more reflective of disabled experiences of the world. Most recently, her short play Between the Floods was performed at Oxford’s new writing night Prototype, and imagined a speculative near future where Oxfordshire was ravaged by climate change and flash flooding.
Emily Cracknell - Creative Director
Emily (she/her) is a neurodivergent playwright and screenwriter. Her focus is in centring women-led stories, from a non-stereotypical lens, often involving aspects of fractured mental health and identity, including exploring fragmentation within the storytelling form. With a background in probate (death and taxes) she also likes to talk frankly about death and loss. She’s a graduate of Vancouver Film School’s Writing for Film and Television programme and is currently writing and producing a collaborative Women in Film and Television project to create an all female (behind the scenes and in-front-of-the-camera) feature film. Recently her short play, Nobody was performed as part of Prototype, which starts with a meet-cute over a dead-body and explores anxieties around being truly seen and known. Currently she’s developing a TV script, Death is Alive, and a play Keep Calm and Fuck Off.
