Kick-started rehearsals today for this gem. As someone who likes to analyse & question everything, this black hole of a play is the most challenging production I've ever directed. I'm learning a vast amount as we go & I'm grateful to have such a brilliant team alongside me!

The Stage Yep, as Hannah Torrance said, we're still running RoughDraft every month & are currently in our 5th year! I can think of a few good scratch nights in the Midlands who are supporting amazing artists. I'm so pleased we & they exist, but I do dream of us being properly funded!

Fantastic shoot this week with Rendah Films directing a short film for the National Theatre's Speak Up programme 🎬

Congratulations to Kyle, Rosina and Tayla who have been confirmed for a corporate acting job with a major client. They've been in rehearsals last week and will be delivering a series of performances next month. Break a leg! 🙌

What a journey! One more week of rehearsals left before we take to the stage. X has been one of the most challenging productions I've had the pleasure of directing but also one of the most enjoyable, and the cast have been stellar throughout. ✨

Woke up to some lovely news this morning... I've reached the final for the Niche Business Awards 2024 in the Creative category. The ceremony is in September... I need to buy a tux! Thank you @MagazineNiche

Thank you to the incredible cast who've been with me on this crazy rollercoaster ride bringing X to the stage. I'm majorly proud of what we achieved and I couldn't have asked for a better group of actors.

Shots from our production of X by Alistair McDowall. I had an amazing time directing this wonderful cast! It's not every day you get to do a sci-fi horror. 📸 Abby Swain Photography

What a privilege to shoot An Indian Summer including their headline act Orchestral Qawwali Project. An Indian Summer is such a beautiful explosion of culture & art and delivers a profound message of unity that feels particularly important right now. Big love to the team Rendah Films

What a spectacular evening at the Niche Business Awards 2024! Fantastic entertainment, amazing food and all the glitz and glam of The Great Gatsby theme. It was a huge honour to receive Highly Commended in the Creative category! #NicheBizAwards
