Claire Rammelkamp

Claire studied English at Oxford University and then became part of the first all-female cohort of the National Youth Theatre, where she formed her feminist theatre company, Wonderbox, associate company at both The Space Theatre and Greenwich Theatre.

Claire's play 'A Womb of One's Own' headlined the King's Head's Playmill festival and received the Charlie Hartil Special Reserve Award for a run at the Pleasance at the Edinburgh Fringe. The play was nominated for the inaugural Popcorn writing award alongside Bryonny Kimmings in Edinburgh 2019 and was a finalist in the Sit Up awards. Claire's collection of short comedies, 'FFS!', was aired as a radio play on BBC radio Bristol and was performed to critical acclaim at the Space Theatre. Her play 'The Night' is currently being developed for BBC Sounds. She was a member of the 2019 BBC Comedy Writersroom and has written for Newsjack and BBC Wales' The Leak. Claire is currently developing "Immaculate" with Anna Maxwell Martin and Popcorn Group. Her writing explores the themes of queerness, taboo, female experience, and filth.

Claire frequently performs her own work, as well as roles in productions ranging from Amazon Prime's dark 9/11 drama, 'The Looming Tower', to Burn The Curtain's site specific adaptation of Angela Carter's 'The Company of Wolves' in collaboration with the National Forestry Commission.
