MY ACTING STORY

Or some words to that effect...

I have been performing on stage and in the theatrical world for over ten years now, and have just made the transition from the stage to screen.

 Having recently progressed into film and TV work, my ventures have led me to audition and become a member of the BGT Actors Division in Auckland New Zealand, then to Karen Kay.
Some of my more major productions have been in theatre, Shakespeare plays, and taking part in Oxford's annual Shakespeare Festival.

I have landed leading character roles ranging from the sinister Richard III to more comedic roles such as Feste the Jester, and have taken on major lead roles in interactive and immersive theatrical experiences with leading Scare Entertainments companies (AtmosFear) to Murder Mysteries, Haunted Houses, Scare Mazes, live theatrical tours, engaging historical character performances, and Escape Room experiences.

I have also performed with the renowned Isle of Wight Ghost Experience team as a scare/character actor.

In 2023 I was cast as the lead role in a theatrical production of 'Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde' with The Mystery Theatre. I also assisted in writing the script, and had some input in the direction. This was a blend of songs from the musical and an original take on the story. A few years ago I was cast as the lead role of Dracula for a short horror feature film (Harker).

As well as performing in, I have also assisted in writing and directing two plays entitled ‘A Fate Worse than Death’ and ‘Roman Roots'. The production was funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund and won the Terry Hyde Award for ‘Best Staging of a Musical'.

Other skills include horse riding, woodwind instrument playing (flute & tin whistle), folk dancing and stage combat.

Training: Private training (Karin Heslop), skills training and performance workshops/bootcamps (AtmosFEAR), (Vectis Buccaneers), singing (classical) training with Linda Filby Borrett. Attended South Wight Youth Theatre (5 years).
