I left Durham University with a degree in Classics and have trained extensively through the Young Vic Directors Program. My work has toured nationally and internationally.
Directing includes: We've Seen Enough (Canal Café Theatre, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (More London Riverside), A Beautiful Day Forever (Reykjavik Fringe / Athens Fringe, GA), Rounds (Southwark Playhouse / Bolton Octagon, as associate director), and Bismillah! An ISIS Tragicomedy (Edinburgh Fringe). Justin is artistic director of Catharsis and has directed their previous five shows, Ashurbanipal, Hippolytus, Hecuba, purged, and The Complete Greek Tragedies In One Hour.
As associate director: Dream (Court Theatre Training Company) and Rounds (Southwark Playhouse / Bolton Octagon). Assisting includes The Odyssey at The Scoop in 2016, and The Cherry Orchard at The Union Theatre, both for Phil Wilmott. I was Associate Director of Actors of Dionysus for whom I directed the R&D of Antigone, which went on to tour nationally.
My process is highly collaborative. Find below some links to design & process pages for several shows:
