Dermot Daly

I am a director of theatre, film and radio, a dramaturg and actor. I'm passionate about making theatre (and the arts) accessible and representative - be that through new writing, or reimagining of the canon.

I aim to make work which challenges and includes audiences through clear storytelling and detailed imagining.
