Michael Marsden
DirectorHello, I am a graphic designer working within the theatre industry at Dewynters Ltd and in my spare time love being involved with theatre groups as a director, actor and set designer. For almost 8 years I have been working with various amateur groups taking on these roles and I would love to develop my skills as a director to the next level. Therefore any development opportunities that I could be involved in outside of work would be of interest to me, and as a regular visitor to the Young Vic, it would be great to know more about what you can offer.
