I am a theatre Producer and Director currently based in York. I produce Nightshade Productions who specialise in promenade performances and interactive horror work. We run a nightly terror trail and are developing a series of murder mysteries. With SnickelwayTheatre Company (www.snickelway.com) I produce and sometimes direct. We recently concluded our first tour and are excited to be performing at Latitude, Boomtown Fair and the Fringe.
