Georgie Staight

I am a theatre director committed to making theatre that is rigorous, imaginative and emotionally truthful. My experience lies in new writing and collaborating with writers from early stages of development. ​I'm especially interested in working with live music, sound and other digital disciplines. I am Associate Director at The Watermill and Theatre Directing Associate at Mountview. Preferred pronoun: She/her.
