roland reynolds
Artistic Director
An innovative young producer, writer & director with a unique vision and approach to his work, Roland specialises in theatre of the extreme, physical, political and relentless. He's been accused of “ambition, rawness, and a willingness for excess”. Before 5 Out of 10 Men went to the Edinburgh Fringe (2016), his critically acclaimed production Blush of Dogs (2015) at the Tabard theatre followed murder-mystery-cannibal-thriller-dream-play Planter’s Island (2014). He trained at Drama Centre, worked with Chicago’s Sideshow Theater Company, and aged 16 wrote and directed plays at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Stalemate (2008) and Man Pursued (2009).
