About me
I have been involved in Theatre for 25 years, originally studying Stage Management and Theatre Production at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating in 1995. I worked as an Assistant Stage Manager, Deputy Stage Manager and Stage Manager for 19 years at many theatres including, The West Yorkshire Playhouse, Almeida Theatre, Young Vic, The Royal Court and several West End Theatres. Productions include Festen, Skellig, Cleansed and Spend, Spend, Spend.In 2004 I moved into directing, starting as an Assistant Director at Almeida Theatre before being an Assistant at The Royal Shakespeare Company during their Complete Works Season, Resident Assistant Director at The Donmar Warehouse and Associate Director on War Horse for The National Theatre.
I have also directed several productions including Yellow Face at Park Theatre, prior to its transfer to The National Theatre Shed and The Promise at Trafalgar Studios.
What I love about theatre is the process and collaboration. There are so many different people and skills coming together to tell a story. Its amazing to see how an idea comes to life, starting when the writer puts pen to paper and ending on that final performance. Its such an intense and creative process which makes it truly exciting and different every time.
