Mathilda du Tillieul McNicol

She/her

Director based in Hackney, London.

I'm interested in using theatre to communicate with everyone, and tell stories that are relevant and creates social and political meaning in an unstable world. Theatre is important to me because it is a way of having a dialogue with the population about the world as it is now, has been and can be in the future.
