Artistic Statement
The theatre that I love exists in the present – work that is aware of the time and place it is produced; work that finds new ways to show us simple truths about ourselves. I love new plays, and am invested in the emerging playwrights that are shifting the way we think about theatre by offering fresh voices and perspectives. I love thoughtfully reimagined productions of older plays, using established texts as a vehicle to find surprising relevance to our current social and political climate. I love any work that acknowledges that the purpose of theatre is to celebrate the present, and thrives in the temporal nature of the form.
