Welcome back to It Pays the Bills! Today’s guest is Zoe Morris, a director, writer, and lawyer. She and I actually met years ago during a day job, so it was great to sit down with her and chat about her writing process, her winding career, and her next projects.
A bit about Zoe:
Zoe trained as a theatre director graduating from her Masters at Mountview in 2018. She has an interest in shows that deal with mental health, science and has a passion for equal representation.
Since graduating she has changed her focus to writing. Together with her co- writer Meg McGrady she won the Stiles and Drewe award for ‘Vision, Voice and Potential’ in 2020 for their song Broken Guitar, was featured in BEAM 2021, and has been a finalist twice for the BYMT New Musical Theatre Award. Zoe and Meg’s show ‘The Phase’ was performed in London as part of the Vault Festival 2023 where it won an Offcom and was nominated for Show of the Week.
Zoe and Meg are working on a number of work in progress shows including ‘Worn Out’ which will be performed at the Manchester Lowry in August 2025.
