Watershed was founded by Chris Wallis who was previously Artistic Director of York Theatre Royal Young People's Theatre and of the Unicorn Theatre for Children, before joining the BBC as a radio drama producer. When he left the BBC in 1994 he started Watershed Productions to produce high quality family theatre. Also in 2000 Chris started a radio production company with fellow producer Jill Waters, The Watershed Partnership, which made readings and drama for BBC Radio 4. In 2008 Chris and Jill closed the company, and Chris started Autolycus Productions to make radio programmes for all the BBC networks. Elizabeth Jones has worked in theatres in Bolton, Leatherhead, London, Nottingham, Oldham & Watford and was Chief Executive of the Theatre Royal, York, for ten years. She is now a freelance arts manager and has been working with Watershed Productions since 2001. |
