Stepan Mysko von Schultze

A freelance theatre director and writer, currently working as Staff Director at the National Theatre on Till the Stars Come Down (directed by Bijan Sheibani, written by Beth Steel). Previously, I assisted Bijan Sheibani on Sons of the Prophet by Stephen Karam, which played on the Main Stage at Hampstead Theatre.

I am also an award-winning writer and performer. I placed 2nd in the 2022 Chortle Student Comedy Award, was a Finalist in the Leicester Square Theatre Sketch Off, and won the Oxford University Filmmaking Foundation's 2022 Screenwriting Competition.
