Third Summer of Love by Kieran Faulkner
Kit directed the first full-length performances of Kieran Faulkner’s Third Summer of Love, a play about raves, grief, neurodivergence, and masking. Following two sell-out shows at the Camden Fringe, Kit directed the play for a London run at the Lion and Unicorn in September 2026.

Dad by James Robertson
Following a rehearsed reading at the Omnibus Theatre’s 96 Festival, Kit was invited back to direct his play about nonbinary parenthood, grief, and state power for the Hope Theatre’s NorthSapph Fest in August 2026. Kit adapted the text in-rehearsals to incorporate a second performer, and the play received excellent feedback from audiences. Read the review from Pink Prince Theatre.
