Sian Thomas (Director)
I have worked with Amy on several productions over the last few years. I can honestly say that Amy is an incredibly intelligent, insightful and approachable director, who always gains the best performances from the actors that she works with. I consider Amy to be both a professional contact and a friend, and would highly recommend her to any future employer.
