Maximilian Griggs

He/Him
Interests are in New Writing, Re-imaging Classical Texts, Musicals, Physical Theatre, Queer Theatre and Feminist Theatre. I enjoy creating experimental work that plays with different forms and structures. I am always seeking to question Heteronormative ideas within society that Heteronormativity. I lead a playful rehearsal room where behind every idea is a deeper idea. My aim as director, is to establish a room that seeks to nurture and guide other creatives in creating a shared world on stage.
