George intends to make his own theatre company with the core aim to bring theatre to everyone. His dream would be to give more opportunities to young people, as well as making theatre more accessible.
Using audience participation to drive a story, George is currently working on a project that intends to challenge how we view theatre as an audience, theorising that the audience view theatre as stories with little accountability or understanding of the meaning of a performance.
