I have worked freelance the past two years at some of London's finest fringe venues including Theatre 503, The Brockley Jack, Southwark Playhouse, Old Red Lion and Riverside Studios.Additional skills:
I enjoy working with playwrights on new writing. I run a monthly Shakespeare workshop for primarily North American actors. I have taught drama classes for young children and for adults.

Highlights
-
Suzette Coon (Artistic Director)
Lydia is a highly imaginative, tenacious director with a great flair for comedy. Lydia has directed a number of short plays for my theatre company, Little Pieces of Gold and they played to a fantastic audience response. Having seen the extremely high standard of her directing work I asked her to direct my play Our Children Will be Next for Theatre503 which again played to extremely positive audience and critical reviews. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend Lydia.
