Vaila Anderson

My name is Vaila Anderson, I am a female theatre director, originally from Fife, now based in London. I am interested in new writing. However, enjoy delving into the classics.
The majority of the work I have done so far has been female character led. I am interested in linking the classic to the contemporary issues that women face today, pushing the audience to think and question why this link is so important.
