DIRECTING
My productions have ranged from the very dark to the child friendly, encompassing new writing, traditional texts and - a personal passion - adaptation. I love working with new writers and often act as script editor alongside directing. My company Tea Break Theatre works to make theatre more accessible and create work that is fun and challenges perceived ideas of the past and older texts.
