London-based Theatre Director, originally from Hertfordshire, also with experience in producing, writing, teaching, education and community projects. 

​

I have previously directed work for Soho Theatre, King's Head Theatre, VAULT Festival, City Academy, Katzpace, Southwark Playhouse, Arcola, Brockley Jack Studio and Pump House Theatre. I have also worked on Community & Education projects for Shakespeare's Globe, The Old Vic, Wizard Theatre, Watford Palace and Primary Shakespeare Company.

​

Most my work is focussed on new writing, with a particular interest in work which engages with ideas of queerness, legacy, intimacy, community, and/or storytelling, in one way or another. I also occasionally direct musicals and the odd classic or Shakespeare. 

​

In addition to my directing work, I have worked in the Producing teams at Unicorn Theatre and Watford Palace, am an alumni of Soho Theatre Writers' Lab (Longlisted for the Tony Craze Award), and in 2019 received the Harold Hobson Sunday Times Drama Critic Award, partly for my work as an embedded critic. 
​
I tend to make theatre which aims to explore the political through human relationships, which considers the audience and their relationship with the space, and which, most importantly for me, leaves the audience entertained. 

As a society which is losing its sense of touch, I think theatre can at the very least attempt to bring a group of strangers into a space and encourage some sort of meaningful connection.
