About Me

I am a Director and an Actor with over 15 years’ experience working across leading UK institutions, including Shakespeare’s Globe, the National Theatre, RSC, Young Vic, LAMDA, East 15, Mountview, Young Actors Theatre, and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

I specialise in classical and contemporary theatre, with a strong emphasis on ensemble-led work, devising, and actor training. I am highly experienced in working with young people, emerging professionals, and international ensembles, and I have a strong reputation for fostering collaboration, creative risk-taking, and rigorous performance practice.

My directing style is often cinematic, shaped by striking visual composition to create bold, resonant imagery. Drawing on my background as a performer, I create theatre that is visceral, daring, and grounded in a clearly defined world.

I trained as an actor on the BA (Hons) Acting course at Drama Centre London and have since worked extensively as a professional actor with companies including Shared Experience, the National Theatre, the RSC and the Young Vic, as well as work across many regional theatres. My screen work includes filming for The Crown.

As a Director and Facilitator, I have worked with Bigfoot Theatre Company for seven years, delivering workshops and bespoke programmes for young people. I have also worked at The Young Actors Theatre for over ten years, directing productions, leading workshops, and teaching on the foundation and Young Professionals courses.

Since 2014, I have worked with Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, directing projects and delivering workshops, study days, lectures and international programmes. Projects include Our Theatre, TSTP, the Jeremy Lemmon Project, Globe Youth Theatre, and adapting and directing War of the Roses for the Globe Young Company.

I have also directed, led scene study, and served as an audition panel member at the UK’s leading drama schools, including LAMDA, East 15, Mountview, Manchester Theatre School, Drama Studio London and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

I am a member of the Young Vic Directors Program and have taken part in extensive professional development, including workshops in Meisner technique, devising, text analysis, Viewpoints and more. I was also selected as an actor to do an extensive two week project at the RSC with Cicely Berry Looking at Approaches to Shakespeare.

Most recently, I directed The Box by Brian Coyle at the White Bear Theatre for a London premiere, receiving 4 and 5 star reviews. I will soon be travelling to Cappadocia, Turkey, to run workshops for the International Stage Camp, working on Hamlet in collaboration with Shakespeare’s Globe.

With Jonathan Woolf they are in the hands of an exceptional director who intersperses the narrative with wordless near balletic moments
