Liam Rees
Theatre Director DramaturgI am a director who specialises in developing new work and new writing. I have a particular interest in international collaboration and I enjoy making theatre that uses digital tech to put the internet onstage and facilitate more international conversations. Usually if it messes around with form and tries to grapple with the messy world we're living in then I'm all over it.
My pronouns are he/him.
