Shona Benson

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to work in the theatre. My parents told me to get a 'proper job' and said I'd never make it but I've never been able to stay away. There is nowhere else where I feel so comfortable, so excited and so energised. I am interested in creating theatrical experiences that are unique, memorable and moving, in all genres of theatre and in all types of spaces.
