What's the greatest lesson you've learnt as a Theatre Consultant?
Every project is challenging, exciting and different - and every client is too!
What first sparked your love of theatre or performing arts?
I grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon, walking past the Royal Shakespeare Theatre on my way to and from school every day - I have many happy memories of attending shows there while I was still at school, and of subsequently working there.
What qualities should a 'great performance space' have?
A sense of place, a unique personality and the potential for theatrical magic - and behind the scenes, the technical capability to back it up!
Supporting the industry internationally since 2004
