Kit Redstone is an award winning London-based writer, director and performer of playfully
bombastic theatre. Using dark comedy to keep the audience on their toes, Kit's work is
typified by direct address. His show Testosterone won The Pleasance Indie Award for Best
Theatre Show, and was also selected by British Council for the Edinburgh Showcase and
shortlisted for both The Samuel Beckett Award and Amnesty International Freedom of
Expression Award. Kit is the Artistic Director of Vacuum Theatre - a cross-disciplinary troupe
making cutting edge meta-theatrical work. He also works freelance and collaborates as a
writer and director with other companies and practitioners around the world in Greece, India
and Denmark. As a transgender man, Kit is particularly interested in the performance of
gender and who we are versus what we want to be.
