About me
Although resident in the midlands/northwest, I have a London base and am immediately available for work. (Have Oyster- Will Travel).I am a mature, experienced and flexible performer equally at home with stage and screen work.
Prior to this I have worked in teaching, local journalism, industry and recruitment.
As a writer, my play "Here I Sit All Alone, I Think I'll Play My Xylophone" was shortlisted to the final 100 (out of 1600) for the Manchester Royal Exchange / Bruntwood playwriting competition in 2009. My play "The Smoke From Far Shutt" will be performed by Drip Action Theatre Company as part of the Arundel Festival.
