Benjamin McDonald

Theatre Director Playwright

I am an early career theatre director with an interest in working with new writing, research-based theatre, immersive events, and socially engaged theatre.
I have recently submitted a thesis for PhD in Playwriting at the University of York. My research focuses on synthesising interdisciplinary literature to create new dramaturgical devices, and dramatising research.
