About Me

I am a gregarious, self-motivated and highly skilled individual with wealth of knowledge and talent in the theatre industry and beyond. Having been involved with theatre since I was a child I have always sought to find out how theatre 'works' and thus made the parallel leap into the teaching of theatre as well as acting and directing.

A passionate individual who gives very freely of himself .
