Dylan Read was born in Paris and grew-up in Fife, on the east coast of Scotland. At university, Dylan performed and co-directed an extensive repertoire of theatre and performance projects.

Alongside working with Théâtre Senza, he is devising a large-scale theatre performance exploring the visionary urban themes of Baudelaire’s Le Spleen de Paris with GoodDog theatre company.
