Nicole Burley

Theatre Director Playwright Writer Youth Theatre Practitioner Producer

I am a theatre director and playwright, currently looking for training/development opportunities and assistant roles alongside some of my own projects currently in R&D. My previous work has mostly been naturalistic pieces with supernatural twists. I am mostly drawn to new writing, particularly the tragic and the mythical, and female narratives. I have also spent the past 3-4 years working as a youth theatre director, and am undertaking a Professional Writing MA at Falmouth University.
