Weyni Mengesha

Mengesha is the Toronto director who helped shape the most successful Canadian play of the noughties (da Kink In My Hair), then was behind the scenes of what’s shaping up to be the most successful Canadian play of this decade (Kim’s Convenience). She’s proved adept with pre-existing plays, too, at the Tarragon Theatre and Soulpepper.
