If 28 hour days existed, what would you do with the extra four hours?
eat good food and relax with my boyfrend
Favourite holiday?
I have been to far too many amazing places to choose just one.
Weirdest quirk?
I can’t let people dig in the butter when they use it, it has to be in straght lines.
Favourite play?
Again a hard one but I do like blue remembered hills.
If you had one super power, what would it be?
stop time.
How did you get into directing?
I decovered my passion when i was at university. its so exciting creating a peace of theatre.
How did you prepare for this?
As the director preparation starts way before you meet the actors and get in the rehearsal room. I did lots of research, rehearsal planing, set ideas, character research and though all that gained an understanding of what i wanted the show to look and feel like.
What is your favourite part of the show?
I love the end scene when they are all sat around the table eating. for me it feels so normal and is a situation most of the audience can relate to. Its the small things in that scene that I always pick up on.
