Sarah Marie Mooney
Assistant Director Director Dramaturg(she/her) I am a director and dramaturg originally from the west of Scotland.
In 2019, I began a part-time masters in Dramaturgy and Playwriting at the University of Glasgow and graduated with distinction in December 2021. I have a strong interest in inclusive theatre-making and my dissertation research explored creative access practices in Scottish theatre. I am on the board of Birds of Paradise, Scotland's disability-led theatre company and volunteer with Lung Ha Theatre Company.
Since graduating I have undertaken freelance directing and dramaturgy work. I also produce a scratch night called Play Full showcasing work created in collaboration between writers, directors and dramaturgs.
