Hey! I’m Jess, a director, theatre-maker and co-founder of MAGNA.
I’m excited by new writing, and by plays that challenge an idea, a form, an audience. I like to work collaboratively and to explore creative ways of getting to the heart of a play. I’m interested in making theatre that reflects and challenges the world we live in today.
Outside of the work I make with MAGNA, some of my other credits include;
The Mozart Question, The Butterfly Lion (The Barn Theatre)
"Jessica Daniels steers a sublime adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's tale" - The Guardian
The Snow Queen (RABBLE Theatre)
A Pupil (Park Theatre - Off West End nominated)
Connie Wookey: Denied (Soho Theatre)
Conquest (VAULT Festival / The Bunker)
The State We’re In (Theatre503)
I'm also the Resident Director of Girl from the North Country (Old Vic, West End, Toronto & UK Tour)
