About

I’m a theatre director and producer based in London, UK. I’m the Artistic Director of The Playwright’s Laboratory and run my own theatre company Blue Touch Paper Productions. For 8 years I held an O-1 visa and was the Director of International Programming at Rubicon Theatre Company in California.

At Rubicon, my production of ‘Gulf View Drive’ won Best Production of a Play (large theatre) at the LA Ovation Awards in 2018. My theatre directing has also been acknowledged with two Best Director Ovation nominations and an Indy Award for Best Direction of ‘Last Train to Nibroc’ and seven L.A. Times Critic’s Picks. I also have three plays available for download on Digital Theatre and Digital Theatre Plus.
