I am an award-winning director, writer and dramaturg, working primarily in theatre, with work seen by over 1m people across the globe, and nominated for an Olivier Award.
I am experienced in taking a project from ideation to reality, solving problems and leading teams. I have managed productions with large casts, bands and technical departments, including new writing, adaptations, classics, drama and musicals. My projects have ranged in size from a performance in a flat in east London to selling out the Hammersmith Apollo for a week. My productions have been seen in Dubai, Kuwait and across the United States, winning awards and five-star reviews. I have worked at the National Theatre, in the West End and on tour throughout the UK.
I love work that brings audiences together, that celebrates the live-ness of theatre and creates those unique "I was there" moments.
