Thea Sharrock, Director

Thea is a British theatre, film, and television director. At 24, Thea was the youngest Artistic  Director in British theatre when she led the Southwark Playhouse, following receiving the JMK Trust  award, which recognises young theatre directors in the same year. Following this, Thea became the  Artistic Director of the Gate Theatre. Since then, Thea has worked extensively in film, television, and  theatre. 

Thea’s most recent project, Wicked Little Letters, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival  in 2023. Based on a true story, the film takes place in 1920s Littlehampton, when a series of poison pen letters cause outrage amongst the seaside town. Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley lead a sublime  cast in this comedy, which premieres in the UK February 23rd and the US March 29th. Also on the  horizon is Thea’s heartwarming film for Netflix, The Beautiful Game. Led by Bill Nighy and Micheal  Ward, the story follows the England football team, as they compete at the annual Homeless World  Cup. The film releases globally on Netflix March 29th .  

Thea’s film debut was the adaptation of Jojo Moyes’ bestseller Me Before You, starring Sam Claflin and Emilia Clark. The film brought in over $200m at the box office. She went on to direct Mike White’s The One and Only Ivan for Disney and Disney+, which was nominated for an Academy Award for its  visual effects, featuring a star-studded cast including Bryan Cranston, Sam Rockwell, and Angelina  Jolie.
