Directing New Writing In London
Theatre Directing Requires Empathy, Efficiency & Competence.
You have spent months, perhaps years, writing your script; so, it needs a capable theatre director. One who understands the craft of writing.
I do not impose arbitrary concepts over your words; my job is to understand and protect your text and imbue it with life.
Developed at the Young Vic, my rehearsal rooms are defined by empathy, discipline and pure exploration.
I partner directly with writers and producers to build focused, highly efficient environments that deliver visceral, entertaining work.
Available to direct plays across the following stages of development:
-
R&D & Script Development: Dramaturgical stress-testing to refine your text’s structure before it hits the stage.
-
Staged Readings: Dynamic and lean presentations designed specifically to secure full commissions, funding, or programming slots.
-
Fringe & Full Runs: Helming uncompromising new writing from the first read-through to press night.
-
Audio & Radio Drama: Translating stagecraft into immersive, highly designed sonic entertainment.
A director who grasps the vastness of humanity, with empirical insight into immigration, the LGBTQ+ experience, and pop culture; one who is fluent in both formal English and the nuances of cultural slang.
