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).

The culture at BOVTS is encouraging, respectful, welcoming and empowering; the environment and buildings are beautiful and I found Bristol to be one of the most wonderful cities in which to spend summer! Lindy Yeates, Foundation Course Student
