Imogen Beech

She/her. I’m an independent theatre director based in the East Midlands. I love playful, clear and imaginative storytelling and am particularly interested in exploring how theatre can be used to promote empathy between people from all walks of life.

I'm currently working as Elle While's Associate Director on Simon Reade's new ensemble adaptation of Private Peaceful (Nottingham Playhouse, UK tour).
