ABOUT
​
I am a freelance theatre director with a passion for making theatre that is rigorous, imaginative and emotionally truthful. I have extensive experience in working with new writing, both as a freelancer and as Artistic Director of Flux Theatre, and enjoy collaborating with writers from early stages of development.

I initially studied Philosophy and Theology and then went on to train at Mountview Academy gaining an MA in Theatre Directing. I am fascinated in stories which challenge our preconceptions and offer something new. 

I am passionate about making work within the community and working with younger people, ensuring theatre is accessible to all. I am also interested in working with sound, film and other digital disciplines. 

Alongside directing I work as a facilitator, dramaturg & producer. I've led youth and outreach programmes at The Watermill, Chichester Festival Theatre and Corn Exchange, and worked as a guest director at drama schools including Mountview, Royal Academy of Music and Oxford School of Drama.

Represented by Nick Frankfort at Michael Grandage Company.
