About me

I have a passion for Jacobean/Elizabethan theatre, including, but not limited to Shakespeare.
Although it started with Shakespeare. After years of "not getting" Sheakespeare, feeling that watching Shakespeare's plays were more on an intellectual exercise in trying to understand the words, I was fortunate enough to be taken to the Globe by a friend in 2005. As groundlings we watched _The Winter's Tale_ directed by John Dove. And suddenly it all made sense. The time passed and I forgot I was standing. I was entertained - engrossed by the characters and the action on stage. No longer slave to trying to decipher every word - but simply enjoying the story as it unfolded.
Since then, I've seen other great actors and directors create amazingly accessible shows with classic texts - not by dumbing down the texts, but by putting the telling of the story for the audience at the centre of their mission.
These are the kinds of classical productions I'd love to be involved in.

I also have a big love for contemporary theatre and new writing. Because it's new and fresh. It hasn't been said that way before and because I'm part of that creation process.
I enjoy devising and dancing on the edge of "not knowing" - exploring, playing, discovering.

I love audiobooks and radio plays.
And films. :)

In short, my overarching passion, as an actor, is to be part of a storytelling endeavour that puts centre stage the telling of a story for an audience. Regardless of the origins of the "text", or of medium, or of budget.
