Alys MacGregor

Director Theatre Maker Actor Dramaturg

I graduated from UAL with a 1st Class BA Hons in Contemporary Theatre and Performance in June 2022. Starting off as an actor has highly influenced my theatre practice and I believe made me a better director. I value my work on collaboration and endeavour to get involved with as many aspects as I can of theatre making. I am a lover of Shakespeare and enjoy adapting old stories into contemporary work. I have a lot of experience with new writing too and strive to make work that speaks to people by grounding itself in reality. My own work has a “Story book” aesthetic drawing inspiration from Neil Gaiman and Tim Burton
