Anastasia Bunce

Anastasia is a theatre director based in London who directs new plays and modern classics. She is also the Artistic Director of Patch Plays, a company devoted to staging new work that explores animal ethics and sustainability. Stylistically, she is interested in utilizing expressionistic devices, that enable the poetry of a piece to become its focal point, as this for her, is where stories start to transcend into art.

Anastasia graduated with an MA in Theatre Directing from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in 2020. Recent credits include directing one-woman show 'Darkie Armo Girl' at the Finborough Theatre for a 4 week run in June- July.
