About me
After a 20 year career in IBM I have decided to take a new direction in my life. I have been a keen theatre-goer for a long time and I want to ultimately find a role in the theatre that uses the skills I have acquired. I took several courses in playwriting and decided to adapt the 1980's gay coming-of-age novel, "The Milkman's on His Way". I setup my own production company and we presented the show at the Brighton Fringe in May 2019. Following 2 5-Star reviews, we are now looking for a London transfer.My new play, "Turning the Screw" has been chosen as part of the ATG Premieres Showcase and wiill be staged in The Studio, New Theatre Wimbledon in October 2022.
Additional skills:
IT, Web site design, event management, negotiation, talent identification, team development, training delivery, recruitment, organizational change management, consultancy, coaching, mentoring, contracts management, vendor management, procurement, scheduling, project management, interviewing, customer expectation management, inter-personal skills, dealing with the media, presentation delivery, resolving customer complaints, Social Networking - Twitter & Facebook.
I setup K-Squared Productions Ltd with the aim of producing not just "The Milkman's on His Way", but with a focus on new writing and in particular from emerging artists who do not find it easy to get their work performed.
Additional information:
In October 2010 I had a week's job experience at The Lyric, Hammersmith while they were in the final week of rehearsals for "Blasted". I discovered that while not having had any training specifically in the theatre nevertheless the business skills I had acquired did have a use. My roles at IBM had always been customer-facing where the ability to understand the other person's viewpoint was key. I have managed teams of up to 80 people as well as delivering against growth, revenue and cost targets.
