Director

Current member of the Royal Court's Script Panel dramaturgy programme, and a member of UNION - the Northern School for Artists and Activists (run by Leeds-based 'Heads Together').

As an actor and musician, he has and performed work at venues including Warwick Arts Centre, Sheffield Theatres, York Theatre Royal, Bradford Lit Fest, Camden People's Theatre, Bedlam at the Edinburgh Fringe, and with the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.
