Rebecca Johannsen

Currently based in Los Angeles, but often in London, my doctoral work was in feminist approaches to dramatic lit & theatre history (mostly Renaissance) and trauma theory (mostly focusing on modern abstract & documentary theatre). I devise documentary theatre work and anything related to female-driven stories.
