Megan Drabble

I am a theatre director currently based in Hampshire, but happy to travel. I am regularly travelling into London for work. I am an Assistant Practitioner for Go Live Theatre Projects (formerly Mousetrap Theatre Projects). In Autumn 2024, I will be curating an exhibition for Platform for Indian Democracy entitled 'Taking up Space: Women and Protest in the Indian Diaspora. I am a History graduate from King's College London and am interested in working in an interdisciplinary way. I am further interested in community production, the body, and movement. My preferred pronouns are she/her.
