Edoardo Berto

I am an Italian theatre director based in Edinburgh, just finished my MFA Directing at the Edinburgh Napier University, under the mentorship of Mark Thomson. I also obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Communication, Media and Advertising at IULM University of Milan, with a final dissertation about Bertolt Brecht. From 2014 to 2019 I attended the acting school "Grock- Scuola di Teatro" in Milan, working on different school productions. I enjoy different types of theater, right now I am very fond of the work of the German Director Thomas Ostermeier and the British Director Jamie Lloyd.
