Darren SIlva

Hi, I'm Darren Silva, a writer and director from London. I've written and directed numerous short films and written three books. I've trained extensively with the Young Vic Theatre and participated in several of their directing and writing courses.

I've currently written two feature length plays, which I plan to workshop in the coming months...
