Susie is probably best known for writing and directing her legendary Pantomimes at Hackney Empire, which were critically acclaimed and changed the fortunes of the East London theatre over her 22-year tenure there.
Her last Hackney show was the 22nd anniversary production of Dick Whittington, set in 1948 as Dick arrives in London on the Empire Windrush and follows his story exploring London. This production led her to win Best Director at the Great British Pantomime awards.
Since 2023, she has written and directed pantomimes at the Broadway Theatre, including last year's (2025) OFFIE Award best produciton winner, Sleeping Beauty.
A keen and experienced educator, Susie began the Hackney Empire’s Artists Development Programme in 2002, directing the annual main house show for over 20 years. The programme is still going strong to this day, providing training and main house experience to young people from across London – many participants have gone on to successful careers in the arts across all genres.
Susie is also a Patron of Haringey Shed Theatre.
