Molly Byrne

She/her

I am excited about new writing, and working on stories which are experimental with form and consciously engage with their audience. I am also passionate about exploring LGBT stories, particularly sapphic ones, and plays which use comedy to explore serious subject matter.

I have experience directing dramatic plays, comedy (including sketch, and fringe-scale musical theatre. My production of 'On Your Bike' at the 2021 Edinburgh Fringe won an award for 'Best New Musical'.
