THE BOOTLEG THEATRE COMPANY

What I do... (Actor, director, designer, teacher etc?)

We are a small scale theatre company commited to new writing with over a dozen new plays already credited and several more already planned for the next couple of years.

My Quick CV

I run Bootleg Theatre and have also produced the independent film WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN . I am also a jobbing actor .

The first thing that inspired me in theatre...

Reading writers from the Theatre Royal Stratford East such as Barrie Keeffe, Tony Marchant, etc and realising that theatre wasnt just all about Oscar wilde, and that woirking people had something very important to say and were saying it brilliantly in a live medium.

My favourite theatre something is...

The prospect of an exciting new play - either producing it or watching it.

The thing that annoys me about our industry...

The lack of funding and consideration from Arts bodies.
