Directing
For the past seven years I have been running my Shakespeare Course for Skylight Performing Arts at CRISIS (one of the country’s leading homeless charities), presenting abridged productions of Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, As You Like It, King Lear, and Much Ado About Nothing. We are currently working on Antony and Cleopatra.
Other directions...
I have also collaborated on and directed a number of solo shows, most notably with actor and comedian Miles Jupp - Drifting, Telling It Like It Might Be, Fibber in the Heat; Linda Marlowe - Diatribe of Love by Gabriel Garcia Marquez; Benet Brandreth in The Brandreth Papers.

Other work includes two tours of Educating Rita in the Middle East, Lord Of The Flies at the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness and a specially commissioned music and drama project - Miniatures - for the Highland Festival.
I have also directed in drama schools (LAMDA, Central School Of Speech and Drama, Rose Bruford) and for the National Youth Theatre; most notably Pacha Mama’s Blessing which I co-directed with Douglas Hodge and which - following a short run at the Almeida - went on to become a BBC TV film.
