Lillian Waddington

Hi there! My pronouns are she/her. I am a double-award-nominated early career theatre director. I led and directed an immersive one-woman show for Brighton Fringe last year that turned into a micro tour spanning from London to Cambridge. I am really passionate about directing and am always keen to learn from anyone! I love work that is experimental, story-led, and plays that challenge me into becoming a more creative director.

Credits

Currently, I am an assistant facilitator at AkomaAsa Performing Arts Academy in South London. I am also assistant directing a youth theatre production of Romeo and Juliet in Newhaven, and a community theatre project in Brighton called Born and Bread.

Regarding upcoming directing projects, I am going to be directing a short play, A Drop in the Ocean, as part of the Unshaded Arts Festival at Omnibus Theatre in July.
