About Me

I am currently appearing in the World Premieres of two new plays as part of the CASA Latin American Theatre Festival.
The first is AFTER EVERYTHING: PAIN AND SUFFERING, written and directed by Luis Ibar, Artistic Director of Cataphilus Theatre and founding director of Taller 7A acting school in Mexico City.
SEPIA DREAMS, by Argentinian playwright Fabian Politis, premieres two weeks later. The show is directed by Daniel Goldman, Artistic Director of Tangram Theatre Company. The CASA Latin American Festival is his personal project, having been inspired by his time training in Argentina. Daniel's recent credits include the Southwark Playhouse's RICHARD III (which he co-directed) and an acclaimed production of Sarah Kane's 4.48 PSYCHOSIS.
Both pieces will be playing in repertory alongside BLACK LIGHT, an award winning play from El Salvador written by the late Álvaro Menen Desleal.
September saw me appearing in the World Premiere of THE INSURGENTS, by Anders Lustgarten, at the Finborough Theatre. The piece formed part of a double-bill of short plays called A LETTER TO ENGLAND.
Earlier this summer, I appeared in the UK Premiere of GET AWAY, by Canadian playwright Greg MacArthur, at the Old Red Lion. The show is something I'm particularly proud of and one of the hilights of my career so far, so I'm really grateful to those of you who took the time to come along and check it out. For those of you who missed it, check out the slideshow below.

My Interests

Myself. Other people. Theatre. Seeing it. Making it. Studying it. Radio drama. Film. Literature. Any other medium by which an artist can express whatever it is they're trying to say, irrespective of whether or not anyone (themselves included) has the slightest idea what they're on about. Sex. Having it. A lot. Laughing. Don't do enough of it. Should do it more. Football. Playing and watching. No diving. American football. Shouldn't be called "football", but still a wicked sport. People's brains. I like to pick them apart to see how they work.

I'd like to meet:

Honestly? Anyone who can give me that one break I need to get ahead in this business. On myspace? Not really that bothered. Really not interested in doing anything other than keeping in touch with existing friends I made in the real world.
