Lucy Hayward

Director

Disabled artist whose focus is to create stories from the extraordinary lives of ordinary people and make them as accessible as possible by working with disabled artists and getting feedback from audiences who are not typical theatre goers.

Over the last year I have been developing my knowledge of children's theatre wghich ahs been fascinating.
