Max Lindsay

Director Teacher Dramaturg Assistant/Associate Director

I'm a queer theatre Director. Pronouns he/him/his. I'm really interested in a wide range of work: plays with a focus on social commentary, queer stories, comedies both subtle and broad, ensemble pieces, movement embedded in the piece, plays based on history and sex. I really want to focus on queer stories, musicals and comedies at the moment.
