Marlie Haco

(She/her)
I’m a director and dramaturg and artistic director of theatre company Double Telling.

I love working with writers and scripts at all stages of development, across a range of theatrical forms and genres, from naturalistic to absurdist text, historical drama to verbatim theatre. I’m particularly interested in directing plays that challenge conventional dramaturgies to unearth the complexities of our psychologies and relationships, while reflecting the diversity and plurality of the world we live in today.

I make experimental shows that integrate multiple forms of storytelling to engage audiences in provocative ways.
