Jack Reardon

Theatre Director Film Director Facilitator

A passionate, ambitious and hard working director aiming to create original work, reimagine classics and redefine limitations in film and theatre. I love working in immersive or site specific venues. Originally from Tipperary, Ireland, I now call London home. I am particularly interested in stories of individuals who find a way to prevail, to persevere and to survive. I see film and theatre as a Swiss army knife. It can be the cork screw to pop the champagne or the knife to cut open a seal.
