Acting

Since graduating from The Actor's Institute in 1997, I have built up experience in role play, children's theatre, event work, festivals, street theatre, murder mysteries and panto.

I'm proud to have worked as an actor for Millfield Theatre, New Vic Theatre Stoke-on-Trent, Natural Theatre Company, Laughlines Entertainment, Freshwater Theatre, Lapland UK and The Killing Game among many other companies.

My performance skills include comedy character roles, devising, performance poetry, puppetry, impro and multi-role playing.

Being Human

By Timberlake Wertenbaker

Part of Theatre 503 & Theatre Centre's ImagiNation project.

I recently devised and recorded ‘Snow’, a winter-themed audio installation for the Discover Children’s Story Centre, with storyteller Niall Moorjani.

Please enjoy this 90-second sample, and the full version can be heard at Discover until February.

Thanks to the Discover Children’s Story Centre and sound producer Steven Dove.
