About Me

I have performed in over 60 different drama productions over 45 years. This has included indoor & outdoor theatre, drama festivals, tours and professional murder mystery performances (improvised around a general plot) at hotels and functions. In the last 5 years I have worked on a professional basis with Worcester Rep in several Shakespearean roles including Cassius in Julius Caesar, Capulet in Romeo and Juliet & have just played the lead in a production of King John performed at Worcester Cathedral (sold out for the entire run of 8 performances). I have recently been to Romania with the Rep to perform at the International Shakespeare Festival, the Rep being one of 4 invited companies including the RSC and The Globe. Last year I took the lead in Macbeth with a Ludlow based company. I have performed in a wide range of productions including contemporary dramas, comedies, musicals and children's theatre. This year I have acted in two short films and really enjoyed the experience, particularly the collaborative aspects of the productions. Recently I was a featured supporting artist in a new US tv series "Will". As well as scripted parts I am comfortable with improvisational work and have also promoted productions on local radio. I am dedicated, reliable & professional and can provide a full CV and two video trailers upon request.
