  Self-employed

  Aug 2002 - now

  Theatre director, playwright and composer

  I make fast-paced, upbeat theatre, normally with a focus on original music. I like to make shows that are funny, use heightened physicality and are overtly theatrical in their nature. I'm influenced by rock'n'roll, comic books and writers who create amazing imaginary worlds.I enjoy making shows for all sorts of audiences; big adults, wee adults, big children, wee children and anything in between. I usually write, direct and compose my own shows but that really is project dependent. Show less

  Artistic Director

  Sleeping Warrior has developed into one of Scotland's leading touring theatre companies. We make accessible, entertaining shows with new music and a sense of place at their heart. As artistic director I have built the company up from our first small production of Love 2.0 to a company that can now create far more ambitious shows both in scale and content. Previous tours:Love 2.0The Rise and Inevitable Fall of Lucas PetitSpudsCrocodile Rock and A New LifeBattery Park2024 will see the world premiere of To Save The Sea, a new musical about the Greenpeace occupation of Brent Spar written by myself and Isla Cowan.
