In 1998, she directed the play Terms of Abuse; The New York Times' Sheridan Morley wrote that "Julie-Anne Robinson's production never quite manages to hold it all together [...] what might have made for a highly dramatic 50 minutes on television seems sprawling even as a short evening in the theater." However, Robinson received favourable reviews for the play Yard, which she directed later the same year. Scriptwriter Kaite O' Reiley earned the Peggy Ramsay Award for writing the play, which takes place in a butcher shop. The Daily Telegraph wrote that under Robinson's direction, "the cast's constant work with flopping slabs of flesh is both fascinatingly naturalistic and humorously gruesome." Robinson followed with Blagger in 2000; The Daily Telegraph's Charles Spencer remarked that it was "notably well-acted under Julie-Anne Robinson's direction" in his review. In 2000, Morley reviewed the play A Place at the Table as "tightly directed by Julie-Anne Robinson". Robinson began directing television episodes in 2000, when she helmed an episode of the British soap opera Doctors. From 2001 to 2004, she directed two more episodes of Doctors, along with episodes of Cutting It, No Angels, and Holby Cit
