I'm a Scottish theatre director and actor living in the North East of England. New writing is my most recent experience but I also love investigating classic text. From studio work to site-specific experiences and epic-space musicals, I'm interested in making work that engages and excites, and shaping absorbing stories that challenge and reflect our collective experience.
