Emma Brunet-Campain
THE WRITER
Emma has always been a creative spirit, and after moving to England her love of performance extended to that of creating. Originally experimenting in devising work she soon found her voice and realised that all the crazy stories swirling around her mind had a place on paper. With a passion for poignant, untold stories and naturalistic conversation Emma loves to explore stories from multiple perspectives.

The Writer's Block - 2018
What goes through the mind of a writer when all thoughts are blocked? This fun, experimental play explored the child-like mind of a struggling writer desperately trying to finish a story. With dinosaurs and catchy jingles this piece took the Farnham Maltings' mains stage by storm.

Flying Duo
Zoe and Lady are each other's closest friends. They are both outsiders. Small fish in the pig pond of the capital city. But most importantly, they are both dreamers. Lady has moved from France, away from her family and home to live her London dream and Zoe has done the same from a small English Village. They are both here together; Two tiny peas in a very big pond.
Sitting in Zoe's beat up, retro gold Beatle Volkswagen the two girls chomp on their fast food. At no point do they look at each other. We don't know why. They don't acknowledge their rather... interesting attire. We don't know why. But what they do do... is talk. About life, London and pigeons. These are two girls that have dreamed of coming to the city, but now they are here they have got lost in the smoke. Zoe and Lady must push through the loneliness they both feel, and perhaps in doing so realised that yes, they are lonely in London. But they are lonely together.
Flying Duo premiered on October 15th at the iconic Ritzy Picturehouse in Brixton. It showed alongside all of the team's films created over the last two years, making it a celebration of their work to date! With a packed audience in the centre of London, it was the perfect beginning for this story. It will now begin its festival run.
PASS IT ON
"THAT'S IT"
Pass It On. Let them know. No one left behind.
People of this world survive on a network of unheard conversations. Secrets passed from mothers to daughters, between friends, to colleagues, in the passing glances with strangers.
What are these words? What happens when we amplify them? What would it mean to put them on stage?
Pass It On is a monologues programme for emerging creatives from marginalised genders. Emma has written the monologue "That's It", which will be performed by Maddy Kamleh-Chapman on the 31st October and 2nd November.
That's It will be performed at The Glitch, Waterloo, alongside Company C. Tickets can be purchased via the YellowCoat Theatre Company Website.
ULYSSES
The
Project
13 Hours. No Intermission. 13 Directors. 13 Writers. 1 Day.
Production company Underground Theatre are creating London's biggest independent Theatre Production in 2026 with their adaption of James Joyce's 'Ulysses'.
Just like the original, this production will follow the Odyssey of everyday experience, tracking a few characters over the course of a single day, put on stage in real time across 13 continuous hours. Each hour corresponding to one chapter or section of Ulysses. Each hour will be created by a different writer, director, and cast. They will be forming a vast creative collective united by a shared mission and constant communication, but with the opportunity to express distinct voices and singular formal experimentation.
Emma has been chosen as one of these writers, and will be adapting the chapter 'Sirens' for the stage.
