Jimmy Walters

I am a London based theatre director who is interested in finding work from the past with a strong relevance for today. I started as an actor and whilst at drama school, decided to pursue directing after watching visiting directors at work.
I pride myself on placing collaboration as my key ingredient for any rehearsal room and believe in using every actors imagination at the same time when bringing a scene to life.
