Lucy Bird

I am a freelance Director and Creative Learning Practitioner based in Birmingham. I have directed a number of my own shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in a number of Fringe venues around the country. I also work as an Assistant Director, and was a recipient of the Birmingham REP JMK Assistant Directing bursary to work on The Lovely Bones directed by Melly Still.
I am most interested in assisting and directing pieces of new writing, modern adaptations and early modern revivals.
