Overview
The Glory of Bankside (The Globe) has become a huge part of my life, New Zealand seems more like a dream than ever. I work in Southwark with a huge variety of young people from 4 to 16 leading drama workshops that use Shakespeare's work as a starting point to enthuse, inspire and empower them, I also work at the Globe running a series of workshops for young people and directing them in scenes for the Globe stage.

Triangle - Coventry Kidz in the Blitz - Museum Theatre
This November I'll be working on a total immersion theatre experience with Triangle Theatre in Coventry. Their pioneering Heritage Theatre Project "The Whissle and Williams Home Front Training Camp" for year 9 pupils looks at what it was like to be a child during the second world war in Coventry.

Mike Alfreds Masterclass - Jerwood Space/Young Vic/Living Theatre
My second "Director's Act" week with Living Theatre - I spent a week at the Jerwood Space working on The Cherry Orchard with Mike Alfreds and twelve other directors. It was a truly inspiring week - Mike has been developing his process over 30 years and he works on creating a framework for the play within which the actors have a great deal of freedom and creative input.

The Playground
I completed a working draft of this play, which examines the nature of bullying, hierarchy and the abuse of power through a group of 12 year olds in a comprehensive school in South East England. I am currently looking for producers.
