About me

Having originally trained as an actor at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School directing came as a natural progression alongside my extensive tutoring experience. I am a strong, creative leader and enjoy working with both large and small casts and I am used to a diverse range of performance spaces, relishing the opportunity for site specific work as well as work in more traditional theatres. In 2016 my production of The Comedy of Errors was invited to perform at the International Shakespeare Festival in Romania. The Worcester Rep. was one of only four companies invited from the UK alongside the RSC, The Globe and Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory. I enjoy working with actors in training and am able merge both creative leadership with a valuable learning experience.
