Sarah Baxter

I am a freelance director working in theatre and opera. I am interested in a wide range of genres and styles of storytelling across all forms though primarily have been working on developing and directing new writing for the stage. I am the current recipient of Druid Theatre's Marie Mullen Bursary. I was the director member of Irish National Opera's Studio 2018-2020. I trained in LeCoq based devised and physical theatre at London International School of Performing Arts (LISPA).
