Theatre Director Film Director

I am a Director.
I like work that challenges rules of form, of space, of storytelling, of logic.
I direct New Writing and Classics, with a strong interest in experimenting and creating work that uses the space of theatre to its full potential.

I would like to generate director/design-led new writing, and am still figuring that out!
