Director Writer Actor

He/Him. I am currently studying an MA in Theatre Directing at University of East London. I am interested in making absurdist elements of theatre more accessible to a general audience. I love freedom in rehearsals and value the contributions of the ensemble above all else. As well as that I enjoy new writing and musical theatre on a more intimate scale.
