Kolbrún has directed for various short format theatre readings and new writing development nights. She enjoys being in the throws of new writing, discovering it with a cast and being able to feed back to the playwrights. She has a special relationship with the Tandem Theatre Collective, directing their Edinburgh events and likes to cultivate relationships with new playwrights as well as more established writers.

Here’s looking forward to the Tandem’s next venture! **** The Wee Review
