(he/him)
JMK mentee.

Director of the National Youth Theatre Associate Company, 'OffPiste Theatre', aiming to promote and provide professional artistic opportunities to emerging and mid-career creatives residing in the South West.

I'm interested in making dynamic and energetic work, but ultimately putting the South-West and other rural areas on the map!

Our Mate, Max reviews: - Audience Feedback
5* “It made me feel spoken to - like somebody was taking my own anxieties for the future and playing them out onstage.”
5* “Thoughtful, motivated, sad. Really made me think about the perception of men and male images.”
5* “I laughed a lot but also found some bits genuinely difficult and challenging emotionally, it was a lot. I was in tears.”
4* “I can mainly tell you what it left me with it felt like someone just punched me in the gut. Which is the sweet pain of a great show.”
“Very striking, somewhat unsettling, and very definitely off piste.” - Bath Echo
