Director Actor Producer

I’m the artistic director of Theatre East N Bull, a London based theatre company which has been producing bilingual plays in London since 2007. I’m very much interested in political theatre and I love using movement and digital media to create layered productions. We have been staging plays from the Middle East, Mediterranean and Balkans to all communities in London. I received the best director award this year in April from a prominent awarding body in Istanbul, Turkey.
