he/him

I am a recent London transplant from Manhattan. I graduated from NYU Tisch (BFA Drama, '18) and have moved to London to study at Birkbeck and RADA (MA Text & Performance).

I am as interested in reviving classic work as I am eager to discover new classics. I am deeply interested in works that have a profound effect on an audience; plays/musicals/pieces that have the potential to have an impact for generations to come.

Favorite theatre/film/written works include: The Light in the Piazza; Caroline, or Change; Torn (Nathaniel Martello-White); An Octoroon (Branden Jacob-Jenkins); Billy Elliott; Dreamgirls; Torch Song (Harvey Fierstein); Yerma (adapted by Simon Stone); the novels of Edouard Louis; A Little Life (Hanya Yanagihara); The Birdcage (dir. Mike Nichols); Funny Girl... of course.
