A French-British stage director, writer and producer based in London, Marianne Badrichani trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and worked alongside Katie Mitchell at the National Theatre Studio. Since 2000, she has directed from the Off-West End to the most unusual venues — Brompton Cemetery, Holland Park, a railway station.
Resident artist of the Cross Channel Theatre Group at the Institut français du Royaume-Uni (2014–2016), co-founder of the Gallic Gang company with actress Edith Vernes, she was made Chevalière des Arts et des Lettres in 2025. Pierre-Alain Giraud took part in the creation of four of her productions — stage videos, sound design and writing.
