Ben Fleming

He/Him.

I'm a 24 year old director from Manchester, currently based in London.

Before moving down south, I lived in Edinburgh for four years where I co-founded Three Pound Coin Theatre, an unapologetically queer company dedicated to championing LGBTQ+ stories and characters. I then trained at Mountview on the MA Theatre Directing course.

I have experience across theatre, radio and film. I like making work that inspires wonder, and brings the whole world into a room.
