Cara Vaitilingam

Director Producer Writer Performer

I am a director and sometimes producer, writer and performer born and raised in Bristol with Anglo-Sri Lankan-Italian-American roots.

I am interested in work that explores the complexity of our identities, tells our undertold histories and celebrates what makes us human. I'm drawn to stories that are exuberant, sensitive and alive. I am especially interested in new writing and musical theatre.
