Biography
Phoebe Kemp is an emerging director based in Bristol. As a disabled queer director Phoebe is interested in work that tells untold stories, sensory theatre (aimed at those who may not be able to access mainstream theatre) and reinterpreting classic works for a modern audience.
During their Masters at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School they assistant directed A Midsummer Night’s Dream (dir. Paul Chesterton), directed Dorian (wri. Phoebe Éclair-Powell and Owen Horsely) and Wish you Were Here (wri. Hannah Hewer).
As soon as I visited the School, I fell in love with the place. Perhaps it sounds a bit irrational, but sometimes you get a vibe - and you just know! BOVTS gave me all the tools I needed to prepare for a career as an actor.
