I've been involved in all aspects of musical theatre since the early 80s, starting in Glasgow and moving to Edinburgh in the early 90s. I've performed many key roles over the years and directed upwards of 30 musical productions with various companies in and around Edinburgh - large and small.
I have always dreamt of starting my own production company where I could choose the pieces, the people, the venues - basically call all the shots! This is my second production under the banner of my own production company. It was given its name simply because I have been on and around musical theatre for nearly 40 years, and I’m only 45 now, I think that’s called ‘artistic licence’!
