Sam Gaffney

I am a freelance theatre director working in London and across the UK. I am a versatile and committed director with a passion for storytelling particularly for and with young people. I am able to create theatre that combines technical and theatrical elements to enhance the story of the piece. I am confident in my abilities to lead a company and work in a facilitator role with a calm, professional and pragmatic approach.
