Highlights
Artistic Director for the Lichfield Mysteries (2005 - 2006), one of the largest theatre events in the world with a cast of over 700 performers! Creator and director of Feelin’ Da Fuse, Britain’s first hip-hop radio soap. Ape Media and BBC Radio. Now used by BBC as template for devising radio. Creator and director of award winning comedy film, “Flight of the Bumblebee.”

The first thing that inspired me in theatre...: I was never that in love with theatre until I directed something - and then I thought this is what I want to do. But before that... when I was at school in After Magritte - hearing the audience laugh - and thinking this is for me.

My favourite theatre something is...: Laughter and the buzz of an excited audience as they leave a great show.

The thing that annoys me about our industry...: Pretentious dull theatre and money wasted on admin and audience development crap.
