UK Tour, March - May 2024
Written by Henry Madd
Starring Henry Madd and Marc Benga
“Originally directed by Nic Connaughton and re-directed for the current tour by Lauren Lambert Moore, The Land of Lost Content is heart-warming and heart-breaking all at once, making it an incredibly moving piece of fringe theatre.”

“The Land of Lost Content is an important piece of theatre: tender and unapologetic, funny yet deeply moving. It gives a voice to people that are often outside of mainstream media, addressing complex but resonant themes of teenage friendship, mental health, and platonic and romantic love.”
Patrick Bone, Molly McGeachin and The Pleasance

testimonials
"Lauren is a diligent and rigorous collaborator, and an exciting artist in her own right. She's also a bloody good laugh and a joy to have in the rehearsal room." - Dan Hutton - Director
"With Lauren running the room, as an actor I would arrive everyday feeling calm and ready to give 110% because I know the space will always be organised, energised and most importantly safe. Generally a grounded wonderful energy to be around in, and just as importantly out of work environments." - Bobby Wilkinson - Actor
"Lauren is such a kind, beautiful and thoughtful soul as well as creator. I love her ability to know her worth and insert boundaries that not only benefit everyone on the team but herself which is very admirable. I wish I could tour with her forever and ever but that's slightly unhealthy" - Kudzai Mangombe - Actor
“The perfect combo of warm, friendly, sharp and professional. She’s insightful and with a strong artistic POV, and she manages to balance that while being a true team player. It’s always apparent that she cares more about serving the project than her own ego. She is also a wizard when it comes to people management - she gets that different people work in different ways, and she adapts herself accordingly to each person she works with to bring about the most optimal outcome possible.” - Gigi Zahir (Crayola The Queen) - Actor
"One of the top three stage managers I've ever worked with" - Nic Connaughton - Head Of Theatre, Pleasance
"Lauren is everything you would want in a Stage Manager; calm, meticulously organised and a proactive problem-solver. Not only is she on top of everything, she is a pleasure to work with - a real people person.
She is simply excellent at her job. Don't hesitate to hire her."
- Naomi Alexander - Artistic Director & CEO , Brighton People's Theatre

retrospective
Co-director | Co-Writer | DSM
Platform Theatre, London
November 2018
In a fusion of theatre and cinema, our experimental and ambitious production explored the life and work of Lee Miller: photographer, model and photojournalist.
Devised by a collective of 11 artists studying Performance: Design and Practice at Central Saint Martins, Retrospective used a purpose-built moving box with a screen, which switched from transparent to projected film, to transport an audience of four people through an immersive landscape of scenery, light and sound.
I co-wrote the script with Lucy Abraham, we both directed with Michelangelo Dousis and worked with an incredible group of designers and performers to create this form-transcending show.

I co-directed with Lucy Abraham, we both wrote the script alongside Michelangelo Dousis, who designed the projection and sound.
