DIRECTING PORTFOLIO
GREEDY PIG THEATRE COMPANY LTD
Lex works as the Director, Intimacy Director and Co-Producer for Greedy Pig Theatre Company.
Greedy Pig Theatre Company is a Bath-based theatre company run by Douglas Murdoch, Lex Kaby and Holly Jefferies. At Greedy Pig, we love to play with perceptions of normality in our work, and are passionate about exploring themes surrounding gender, and telling LGBTQIA+ and feminist stories. We like to find the story we want to tell, and then find the best lens through which to tell that story. Sometimes that'll be a play. Sometimes it'll be a film. Sometimes both, sometimes neither, and sometimes it'll be something entirely different. After all, when it comes
down to it, we are Greedy. At Greedy Pig, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We believe wholeheartedly that the stories we tell should reflect the world we live in, and recognise our role in ensuring that theatre is for everyone.
