Mr Young, who was brought up in the Isle of Man, was holding school and community workshops in the island in the run-up to the staging of his devised piece of theatre, Journeys,  part of this year's TheatreFest16 programme.

Mr Young is a former resident assistant director at the leading off-West End theatre, the Finborough Theatre, and emerging trainee director with Clwyd Theatr. He is currently involved in a new play, To Dream Again, by Toby Hulse for Theatr Clwyd which opened in June and transfers to London for a five-week run in February 2017.
