Lisa Ors

Director

I am a performer, theatre maker and producer. I have a wide range of experience in Theatre, Film and Radio. In Autumn 2018 I produced new play 'Freight' by Kate Tiernan which was part of the RADA Festival, Gielgud Theatre. Alongside my passion for performing I have a large amount of experience in inclusive arts practice, working with disabled young people. In Autumn 2019 I established Fair Shake Theatre Company which produces exciting inclusive theatre.
