Ele Forsdyke

Location

Ele has a “spiritual” connection to The National Theatre: “It is where I have seen the highest amount of brilliant quality work. And every seat has a good view!” 

Her favorite play is Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem, but no production has moved her more than Dominic Cooke’s The Normal Heart in 2021, which left her and her friend—whom she had never seen cry—both sobbing.

Ele is eagerly awaiting All My Sons directed by Ivo Van Hove.
