Callum Berridge
Theatre Director
Theatre Maker
I’m an early career director and theatre-maker from the East Midlands / South Yorkshire. I've a special interest in new writing which explores contemporary working-class identity/ies, social mobility and social justice. Underpinning my work is a desire to be overtly political, formally experimental, and a collaborative, co-authored approach to making theatre.
My pronouns are he/him.
