Pablo Navarro MacLochlainn
Pablo Navarro MacLochlainn is an actor and musician specialising in devised and site-specific theatre. This began whilst studying History of Art at university, when he wrangled permission to direct a site-specific production of Pinter's 'Old Times' at Kettle's Yard House, Cambridge; the first (as yet only) play to be performed there. In addition to his work with Pellegrino, of which he is a founding member, he has performed at a derelict 1920s town hall, a Norman manor house, a Victorian cemetery, and mounted a one-man cabaret, 'Brown Swan' at a working men's club. He also plays the autoharp in a cool band, Beach Violence, and recently travelled to the Isle of Man to play with legendary autoharpist Mike Fenton.
