Cress was awarded the National Theatre Studio’s Bulldog prinsep
bursary in 2007. She directed Macbeth for Shakespeare and Company
in 2017.


Work she is most proud of includes :





Amphibians by Steve Water, inspired by interviews she
conducted with former Olympic swimmers about ‘legacy’ in the run
up to the 2012 Olympic games and staged in the derelict pool that
had previously been hidden under the Bridewell Theatre
stage. 

Walking the Tightrope: the tension between art and politics
by writers including Caryl Churchill, April DeAngelis, Timberlake
Wertenbaker and Mark Ravenhill about boycott and censorship,
staged site-specifically in the old Guardian newspaper offices
before transferring to the House of Commons and then the
Underbelly. 

The Political History of Smack and Crack about the 1981 Moss
Side riots and the heroin epidemic that then ensued under
Thatcher. (Paines Plough Roundabout, Soho Theatre, UK tour of
major venues and some prisons)

Drawing Play a play where the audience turned up to an art
masterclass armed with drawing boards and pens. They drew as well
as watched, their pictures influencing the action played out
before them (Yard Theatre)

Septimus Bean and His Amazing Machine, where the foyer was
magically transformed into a playground for the final scene
(unicorn theatre)
