Lauren Dickson

She/Her
I am currently working as resident director on Rebecca Frecknall's revival of Cabaret.

After studying drama at LJMU, I went on to train at the Everyman and Playhouse in Liverpool on the young directors scheme, followed by an MA in theatre directing at Mountview. As a working class queer woman, my work seeks to represent my sociopolitical views through new writing or reframing of existing texts. I am excited by work which provokes and dissects societal views
