Director

• Jan 2017 - Feb 2017

Stage Director of the world premiere of Adrienne Earle Pender's 'N'. Eugene O'Neill's groundbreaking 1921 play, The Emperor Jones, was the first American play that featured an African-American actor in the lead role on Broadway. Charles S. Gilpin's portrayal of Emperor Brutus Jones was hailed as "revelatory," and he was named the finest actor of the age. The opening of The Emperor Jones made stars of both men; it was O'Neill's first commercial success, and Charles Gilpin became the toast of the theater world. But by 1926, O'Neill was a legend and Gilpin was lost to history. N explores the challenging relationship between Gilpin and O'Neill and how it ultimately hinged on one word; a word that lifted one of them to the heights of American theater, and a word that destroyed the other.

Director- Oh, What A Lovely War

• Mar 2015 - Apr 2015

Joan Littlewood and company members in The Theatre Workshop created Oh, What a Lovely War! as a satire on World War I and, by extension, against war in general. Adapted from Charles Chilton’s original radio play, The Long, Long Trail, the musical premiered at the Theatre Royal Stratford East in 1963 and opened on Broadway in 1964. The company developed the production using improvisations and popular songs sung by soldiers during the war. The actors assemble as a pierrot troupe to play many parts – soldiers, generals, suffragettes, politicians, profiteers and spies, parading before the audience in a series of quick-fire scenes. Called one of the “seminal events of modern British theatre” Oh What a Lovely War! juxtaposes vaudevillian routines with stark projections of life in the war, in a thought-provoking multimedia theatrical event.
