Employment History & Experience

I have experience playing a variety of roles across a range of genres. From manic Shakespearean villains (Saturninus, Titus Andronicus) to bizarre absurdist entities (Halteg, Damned) I pride myself on absolute commitment to every role.

I currently co-run an independent theatre company and have recently worked on a number of pieces of new writing as an actor and director.
