Joseph O'Malley
Theatre Director
Joseph O'Malley is an acclaimed theatre director whose work has been seen and enjoyed by sell-out audiences all across the UK.
​
"I'm interested in telling stories, first and foremost, from the small and personal to the almost impossibly big.
My work is audience-focused, dynamic, often funny and always surprising. It is work that grabs the audience from the beginning and doesn't let go.
​
I love theatre that elicits a reaction from young and old alike, whether that's laughter, fear or sadness. People should leave my shows feeling different to when they walked in."
