Sean was Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells from 2021 - 2023.
He trained at ALRA, East 15 and in Devising with Complicite. He is responsible for unearthing the script of Arthur Miller's first play, No Villain, which he directed at the Old Red Lion, later transferring to Trafalgar Studios 2. Sean was previously Associate Director on the West End and UK Touring productions of the hit comedy The Play That Goes Wrong, and directed the Australian, Russian, South Korean and Spanish replica productions.
Timely and totally absorbing remount of Eric Bogosian’s searing character study
The Stage on Talk Radio (Old Red Lion)
Sean Turner directs the Australian cast with the precision and flair such farce demands
The Age on The Play That Goes Wrong (Australian tour)
Turner’s raw, claustrophobic production makes a strong case for the interest of what Miller himself considered his most autobiographical play
