Zyrenka Cox

Theatre Director Assistant Director Casting Director

She/her - Early Career Theatre Director.

A huge advocate for Womxn led stories, mental health, environmental and identity driven and thoroughly enjoy working with new writing. My current work very much falls into social commentary.

**Looking for a new writing producer to connect with on a small scale 4 hander piece about one characters journey and the breakdown of their relationship from the events of one evening**

I am working on a new full length piece and keen to connect with others who are open to plays about social issues and specifically driven by female identifying stories.

**Also keen to further my experience in AD work so keen to connect with anyone looking for a assistant director in the future**
