Andrew Allen

Director Writer Actor Dramaturg Workshop Leader, Coach

Andrew is a director, deviser and writer. He is also a theatre workshop facilitator with over 25 year's experience.

Andrew comes from a working-class background having grown up in Croydon with an Irish mother. He now lives in Brighton and am looking to work across London and the South East. He is interested in directing large set pieces for children as much as he's delighted by solo work that platforms a new voice(s).

Andrew creates new work both as a writer and director, as well as being part of the devising process as a dramaturg and guide. He also has significant experience directing existing work.
