Actor, Producer Co-Founder of All Day Breakfast Theatre Company
So when I was seventeen, I was studying maths, chemistry and theatre, and I was very fortunate enough to go and watch the Trainspotting show version down under Bristol Temple Meads Station. I was heading towards the life of accountancy and number crunching and stuff like that, then I went to watch this show. Within the first five minutes, I was just drawn into these characters in a rave just giving off so much energy and giving off so much life. They were moving not like anything I’d seen before. They were telling a story with their bodies and just setting up the play in such a perfect manner and then the next hour of the show I was just on the edge of my seat enjoying myself like I’ve never done so before while watching a piece of art. It has really influenced my practice going forward. From that moment on I knew that I wanted to be in theatre.
