Collaboration with Fiona Shaw

For the Royal Shakespeare Company she directed Titus Andronicus, and it was while working there that she began her long-time collaboration with the Irish actress Fiona Shaw. The pair have collaborated on plays including Electra (RSC), The Good Person of Sezuan (1989 - National Theatre), Hedda Gabler (1991 - The Abbey Theatre and BBC2), the controversial Richard II (with Shaw in the title role, also at the National Theatre (1995) and televised by BBC2), Footfalls (the radical staging of which so enraged the Beckett estate that the production was pulled during its run), The PowerBook (at the National Theatre: a dramatisation of Jeanette Winterson's novel, "Medea" (2000-2001 - Queen's Theatre and Broadway), and, most recently, with Shaw in the supporting role of Portia in Warner's return to Shakespeare with her production of Julius Caesar, starring Ralph Fiennes and Simon Russell Beale, which later toured Europe. They also conducted a world-tour of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, which began in Wilton's Music Hall in London's East End, and marked a new chapter in Warner's work that focused on the experience of drama and its link to places, which was expanded upon in her Angel Project.
