About me

Tyrrell Jones - Director

Freelance theatre director, Artistic Director of Knaїve Theatre, Core Artist at
Unlimited Theatre & Lecturer at Leeds Conservatoire.

I am a director with a broad experience across styles and genres. I specialise in small scale high impact new work. I am best known for his long running internationally award winning 'Bin Laden: The One Man Show' which has toured three continents and has been translated into Norwegian for touring there. Other notable works include an adaptation of Karel Čapek's sci-fi classic 'War with The Newts' (national touring 2018) and a festival of digital experimental work during the pandemic 'The Digital Lyceum' for which I premiered new works by Kamal Kaan and Lavinia Murray.

Upcoming works include 'Bin Laden: the One Man Show' (Norwegian Language) at Norsk Teateret in June and 'Mr Brightside' as part of Leeds 2023 in September/October.

In addition to my work as a director I also works as an associate director and assistant director. I have assisted directors such as Indhu Rubasingham, James Brining, Amy Leach, Lucian Msamati, Max Webster & Mark Rosenblatt.

I also have experience as a drama school director and have directed Eugène Ionesco's 'The Rhinoceros', Bertolt Brecht's 'St. Joan of the Stockyards' (both at Leeds Conservatoire) and two devised pieces at the School of Performance and Cultural Industries, University of Leeds.
