About me

Brooke has directed over 50 main stage productions in 16 seasons at Northern Stage - VT, a company she founded in 1997 . Her productions of "All My Sons" (2004), "Les Miserables" (2008), "Hamlet" (2009) and "Amadeus" (2010) each won New England Theatre Conference Moss Hart Awards for Excellence.

She directed Arthur Miller's then-unpublished Resurrection Blues with the playwright in residence, directed Patrick Stewart and Lisa Harrow in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and worked with playwright Sonja Linden on the American Premiere of The Strange Passenger.

As a creator, Brooke has adapted a number of classical pieces for the stage. In 2007 her adaptation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, The O Myths was the basis of an international exchange between actors from New York, Zimbabwe, Mexico and Romania. Her adaptation The Shrew Tamer combining Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew with the response piece The Tamer Tamed by Shakespeare contemporary John Fletcher--was reviewed as "a delicious new comedy," and Ed Siegel of the Boston Globe wrote, "Ciardelli has fashioned a play of significant historical interest."

Ciardelli is a Visiting Fellow of University College, Durham University, Durham, England, and has been a guest lecturer at the State University of New York, Albany; Harare International Festival of the Arts, Zimbabwe; The Fringe Festival, Edinburgh, Scotland; Dartmouth College, NH; New England Theatre Conference, Boston, MA and others.
