Marlie Haco

(She/her)
I’m a director and dramaturg living and creating work in London. I love any text-based work – I have a particular interest in classical drama from Greek to Shakespeare and other Renaissance dramatists, but am also keen to engage with modern plays and new writing. Having danced for many years, I have always been drawn to the prospect of storytelling through movement and music, incorporating choreography into otherwise naturalistic theatre. Most of all, I am interested in telling stories that unearth the complexities of our psychologies and relationships, while giving voice to those not traditionally heard or seen.
