Marianne Elliott is the first woman to win two Tony awards for theatre direction: the first for War Horse and the second for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. Both transferred to Broadway from the National Theatre, London, and have gone on to travel the world.

Marianne's parents, grandparents and great-grandparents all worked in the theatre. Her father, Michael Elliott, was a founding director of the Royal Exchange theatre in Manchester and her mother, Rosalind Knight, now in her 80s, has enjoyed a lifetime on the stage and is still working. Although Marianne read Drama at Hull University, it wasn't until she was in her late 20s that her career began, when she became assistant director at the Regents Park Open Air Theatre. She went on to follow in her father's footsteps, working at the Royal Exchange, before becoming Associate Director at the National Theatre in London. In 2017 she left to set up her own theatre company with producer Chris Harper. Their next show will be Stephen Sondheim's Company.

In addition to all her theatrical prizes, she has just been awarded the OBE for services to theatre in the 2018 Birthday Honours list. She is married to actor Nick Sidi and they have one daughter.



玛丽安-埃利奥特是第一位获得两项托尼奖的戏剧导演的女性：第一项是《战马》，第二项是《夜里的狗的奇遇》。这两部作品都是从伦敦国家剧院转到百老汇的，并在世界范围内进行了巡演。

玛丽安的父母、祖父母和曾祖父母都在剧院工作。她的父亲迈克尔-埃利奥特（Michael Elliott）是曼彻斯特皇家交易所剧院的创始导演，她的母亲罗莎琳德-奈特（Rosalind Knight）现在已经80多岁了，在舞台上享受了一辈子，现在还在工作。虽然玛丽安在赫尔大学读的是戏剧，但直到她20多岁时，她的职业生涯才开始，当时她成为摄政公园露天剧院的助理导演。她继续追随她父亲的脚步，在皇家交易所工作，然后成为伦敦国家剧院的副导演。2017年，她离开后与制片人克里斯-哈珀成立了自己的戏剧公司。他们的下一场演出将是斯蒂芬-桑德海姆的《公司》。

除了她所有的戏剧奖项之外，她刚刚在2018年的生日荣誉名单中因对戏剧的服务而被授予OBE。她与演员尼克-西迪结婚，他们有一个女儿。
