Patrick Wilson

MA Drama Directing


Biography

Patrick is currently on the Directing course here at BOVTS and is directing Shook (Wardrobe Theatre) for the Summer Season, as well as taking two shows to the Edinburgh Fringe this year.

He’s recently finished two years as a Director in Residence and Young Company Director in Cambridgeshire, directing productions including Medea and Burying Your Brother in the Pavement (both Hayward Theatre), and has directed acclaimed productions for Fringe festivals and venues across the country.  He’s interested in classical work and adaptations, site specific theatre, and comedy, and is looking to continue creating his own work alongside assisting.

It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
