Who Are We?
Cutty Sark is a new theatre company representing queer women and telling Scottish stories, with an interest in the more-than-human.
Founded in 2024 by Eve Miller and Laura Milton, we strive to make story-led theatre. We are passionate about representing queer women, and telling stories rooted in the Scottish landscape which explore the un-real and supernatural, primarily aiming to perform new writing.
Eve Miller
Eve is a Glaswegian writer and director who is inspired by finding the submerged stories of women in folklore and history. In her time at university she has directed four full-scale adaptations of Shakespeare’s works, highlighting queer themes through changing the gender of certain characters, as well as editing the script and adding unspoken moments to provide more insight into the inner life and backstories of female characters which are so often lacking in Shakespearean texts. She has also written and directed a short play called Turn the Cloth as a part of a new writing festival, interweaving folklore, folk music, and the experience of girlhood, focussing on five girls taking part in a tradition to protect themselves from a kelpie.
Laura Milton
Laura is a Glasgow based actor and writer. Hailing from the East Coast, she is interested in Scottish mythology, female experience, and the more-than-human. She has experience in performing, street theatre, devising, writing, and directing. Previously she has worked with Dundee Rep Youth Theatre, Scottish Youth Theatre in their National Ensemble as well as on other projects, Student Theatre at Glasgow, and Catalan street theatre company CRUMA. Having performed a five-star reviewed show at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023, she is excited to take on new projects as a co-founder of Cutty Sark Theatre Company.
