Burlesque

Winner of four Off West End Theatre Awards including Best New Musical.

Set in a run-down Burlesque Theater in America, 1952, popular comedian Johnny Reno has a chance to clear his name from senator McCarthyʼs anti- communist blacklist – but at what price? With dazzling song and dance routines (an homage to the heyday of the great American book-musical) Burlesque is a cocktail of glitz, glamour and grime as showbiz meets politics head on.

‘It is rare and exhilarating to see a brand-new musical in a tiny unsubsidised theatre and think “One day Iʼll boast that I saw its birth! If I were a theatre angel I would back it, and gloat.’ The Times ****

ʻA clever, heartfelt and hugely entertaining show. if it doesn't eventually transfer to a venue where it can loosen its corsets, I hereby promise to eat my entire collection of retro lingerie.’ The Independent ****

The Sticking Place & Extempore Theatre

From 2001, I was the Artistic Director of The Sticking Place, which later became Extempore Theatre. Productions included The Lie (King’s Head Theatre), Dark Meaning Mouse (Finborough), The Terror Seasons (Soho, Southwark Playhouse), and a number of improvised shows that played in London’s west end, at the Royal National Theatre, The Royal Shakespeare Company, The Royal Court Theatre, and many others across the UK and worldwide.

Terror Seasons

From 2004 – 2012 I created the Terror Seasons, the UK’s first annual festival of horror theatre and Grand Guignol (Union Theatre, Southwark Playhouse and Soho Theatre). The controversial event featured world premiers of plays by Mark Ravenhill, Jack Thorne, Neil LaBute, April DeAngelis, Anthony Neilson, and Lucy Kirkwood.

Nominated Peter Brook Empty Space Award . Nominated Total Theatre Award

 ‘An entertaining night out which mixes the gruesome and the giggly to good effect.’ The Guardian

 ‘These short shockers ooze nasty glee. The work of an impressive roster of writing talent, the plays that comprise Terror have in common a confluence between violence and muddled modern gender politics. And they all display a degree of self-reflection that questions both the process and conventions of representing the unthinkable and our motives for watching it. It’s murkily intriguing. There’s macabre ingenuity at play, but to sup full with these horrors you’ll need a strong stomach.’ The Times
