About me
Originally from the Netherlands I came to the UK to do a Masters in Shakespeare at UCL. From there I went on to do a directing course at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.I have been with Aequitas Theatre Company from the beginning and was appointed general manager and resident director in 2014. I have been resident director and general manager for 4 years.
'Conversations from the Web', a play about communication and social media, has won an award from the Moors Bar Theatre for Best Supporting Actress (Faye Maughan) and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Pete Stevens).
I have a passion for Shakespeare and I am interested in telling untold stories.
