Bex Bowsher
About Me
I love to find the magic in the mundane and the miraculous in the hopeless.
Are you seeking a dynamic and visionary creative professional to ignite your artistic endeavours? Look no further. I'm Bex Bowsher, an accomplished theatre director, playwright, and screenwriter based in the North of England.
