Being a Digital Producer

My name is Maya Gabrielle I work in London, as the Senior Digital Producer for the National Theatre, and live in Brighton. I sit on the Digital Strategy Committee for BAFTA and LIFT. On this blog I post about the arts, digital, the National Theatre and anything else that tickles my fancy. I love to talk at conferences and sit on panels, so check out my biography if you are looking for a digital rent-a-mouth. All thoughts and comments are happily my own and are not the opinions of any organisation I may be affiliated with.

Richard II is my favourite Shakespeare play, and Michael Boyd’s production for the RSC in 2009 featuring Jonathan Slinger will probably never be surpassed. I have seen David Tennant and Mark Rylance in the role, but this production was perfection.
