My love of drama began when as a shy 11 year old I was chosen to play the part of Mr. Mole in a  production of "Wind in the Willows"!  This led to involvement in a local youth theatre, and my interest continued with the college drama society, whilst studying English and French at university. Later, I decided to return to college to undertake  a degree in the Performing Arts at the University of  Northumbria, where I gained  a First Class Honours degree.

Since then I have worked as a drama facilitator and director for a wide range of projects and productions. In college I developed a particular interest in community drama. I really believe in the ability of drama to enrich people's lives, and have seen first hand the effects it can have on people's confidence and self esteem. It is a brilliant way to make new friends and have fun too!

Webmaster, business manager, poster designer, leaflet launcher and general nag. I get to do all the bits that Howard hates! An avid theatre goer, and general culture vulture. I was lured into Red Circle under false pretenses and have somehow never been able to leave....

I share Howard’s belief in the power of drama to change people, lives, and probably the world! Have been known to tread the boards myself, usually as a last minute substitute for someone that has dropped out.......
