Meghan Doyle, the 2018 Bryan Forbes Young Director Bursary Recipient returns to the NYT REP company fold to direct, following her celebrated production of To Kill a Mockingbird at the Lyric Hammersmith and Up All Night at the Duke of York’s Theatre. Discounted tickets are available to local schools.
