About me
I'm an Off West End Award nominated director with experience in theatre and short films.I trained at The Poor School, before doing further training from The Actors Class and The Impulse Company, as well as a short summer course in Directing for theatre at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
In 2015 I directed my first play, Confessional by Tennessee Williams at the Edinburgh Fringe, a 9-hander which we restaged in a run-down pub in Southend on Sea and made semi-immersive. We sold over 70% of tickets, and got 4 and 5 star reviews, including from 4 stars from The Stage who called Confessional “a mini-masterpiece of theatre” and 5 stars from FringeGuru, who said “I was gripped, glued to my seat”.
We were nominated for 2 Offie Awards, including best director for myself.
The play transferred to Southwark Playhouse in 2016, breaking the theatre’s box office record for “The Little” by a large margin, with 81% of tickets sold, and picking up 2 Offie Nominations, including Best Director, as well as more great reviews (“A firecracker of a play”, “Autumn's must see show. Unmissable.”, “Compelling, achingly beautiful in its ugliness. A little-known gem.”)
I also assistant directed on Pale Imitations at Edinburgh Fringe 2016, a 3 hander about jazz music written by Keshia Watson and directed by Olorunfemi Fagunwa, as well as Assistant Directing on Fairyland the Musical at the Rhoda McGaw in Woking 2015, directed by Peter Frow.
I’ve directed regularly at new writing nights in London like Page to Stage, and have directed 3 short films.
As an actor my highlights include appearing in Blue Iguana, a feature l'm in with Sam Rockwell and Simon Callow, various leading roles in fringe plays, and playing a Metropolitan Police Officer in Wonderland, a play about the Miner’s Strike at Hampstead eatre, directed by Ed Hall.
