About me
I have a lucky gap in my front teeth just like Madonna and know that it brings me good fortune in health, life and work. I am a real team person but am not afraid to 'lead the way' when required. I have 38 years experience in theatre, radio, TV, and film. As an actor I am known for leading, and character roles. An actor who is unafraid to show vulnerability. I am founding artistic director of award winning, ACE funded As One Theatre Productions, a Dorset based touring theatre company specialising in new writing about real stories. I write, perform, direct, produce. We tour widely W, SW, and S England.License & Passport
