What's the greatest lesson you've learnt as a Theatre Consultant?
Expect the unexpected. These projects always have a lot of twists and turns with things changing all the time, so you need to be ready to roll with it.
What qualities should a 'great performance space' have?
It should always feel like something exciting is about to happen, even if it’s empty.
If you could recommend visitors to London experience one thing, what would it be?
If the weather is good, go to the top of Greenwich park and enjoy the views over London, then walk to the river and catch the boat into the city and have a drink on the Southbank by the river.
