About me
I'm a theatre maker and freelance assistant director based in London. I’m interested in work that pulls marginalised characters into the centre and applies an outsider's lens to the world (and often the play itself), often by taking existing material and finding ways to challenge and play with it. Theatre that is out to entertain an audience whilst looking for ways to provoke them in some way as well. I'm always aiming to create pacey, true, visually exciting and, ideally, sublime theatre whilst cultivating open and deep collaborations with performers and other creatives. I've also directed a number of films, music videos and commercials and am currently an Associate at the King's Head Theatre in Islington.Industry awards:
Offie OffComm Award (for head/lining, 2021)
London Pub Theatres Standing Ovation Award: Best Adaptation (for Tier Three Sisters, 2021)
London Pub Theatres Standing Ovation Award finalist: Best Acting Ensemble (for Tier Three Sisters, 2021)
London Pub Theatres Standing Ovation Award nominee (for Starved, 2019)
Anthony Minghella Award nominee (for I’d Rather Have A Memory…, 2010)
