Me

I'm a theatre director, dramaturg and sometime writer working and living in London. I try to make work that's humane and political - whether that's in new plays, revivals or classics. I'm also an activist for fair hiring in the sector, co-fouding OpenHire alongside Derek Bond. (more info on that here)

​

When starting out I worked for two years as the Soho Theatre Literary Associate (2012 - 2014), while running my own small company, the now defunct Fat Git Theatre. I then worked extensively as an Assistant Director, in the West End (Pressure, Farinelli and the King, Death of a Salesman) with Shakespeare's Globe (Doctor Scroggy's War, Eternal Love, Taming of the Shrew) and the RSC (Dr Faustus, The Alchemist).  I was also an associate director for Nabokov on Blink, which toured the UK and Off-Broadway. 

​

After years of trying, in 2017 I won the JMK Award, directing My Name is Rachel Corrie at the Young Vic (I had applied six times previously and never made it past the first round). I then started directing more work in my own right, for Audible, BBC Arts and elsewhere. A highlight of this was directing HOME by David Storey in The Minerva, Chichester Festival Theatre. Then, a year later, co-directed PRESSURE by David Haig in the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Toronto.

 

In addition to these more traditional directing jobs, I also write and direct with Flawbored, co-creating their first production IT'S A MOTHERF**KING PLEASURE, which won the untapped award and has toured the UK and the US extensively.  

​

Recently I've directed The Importance of Being Earnest at Manchester Royal Exchange, and The Forsyte Saga at the Park Theatre London. I'm working with Flawbored on a second show.

​

I'm delighted to be represented by Dan Usztan at United Agents.
