A Fruitless Existence is an reinterpretation of Becketts Waiting for Godot with Vladimir and Estragon being interpreted as two very grumpy fruits moulding in a bowl.
The story tells how the pair go from not liking each other, trying to escape to an orange and a lemon who not only care for each other and enjoy each other’s company…but also the bowl!
“This was an absolutely wonderful and heartwarming funny piece that referenced Godot in a very unexpected and sophisticated way, changing the ending to a sunny and yet still absurd philosophical vision. The writing and its structure were both extremely well-wrought, the delivery unhurried and responsive to your audience, and your stage actions quirky and engaging in a very Beckettian way. The work on your costumes and poster were impressive, and your comic performance skills excellent on both counts”. Dr Shaun May, Kent University.
I truly appreciate your professional approach to the work, as well as your talent. Working in another language makes theatre even more challenging, so I deeply appreciate your patience and support.

Lysistrata & the Moovment
an adaptation.
Taking Aristophanes story of Lysistrata and her fight to stop the Peloponnesian war between Athens and Sparta. We placed it in a modern Dairy farm, enabling us to place a focus on Dairy cow welfare and highlight more sustainable and earth friendly methods of foods for human consumption.
“An exceptional and highly sophisticated performance that demonstrated an outstanding level of conceptual clarity, theatrical intelligence, and ensemble execution. The work was accomplished on every level, concept, script, staging, performance, and design. It was inventive, politically engaged, meticulously crafted, and confidently performed. The adaptation demonstrated a deep understanding of Aristophanic comedy and an exceptional ability to translate/adapt classical material into urgent, contemporary theatre.” Dr Margheita Laera, Kent University.
Chicken Soup & Barley
A play by Arnold Wesker
You gave a beautifully nuanced performance as Harry, finding his superficial energy which we know will diminish as the play develops.
Your vocal flexibility was good, as you attempt to introduce East End Yiddish cadences to your dialogue. The interaction and pace of the opening sequence was excellent, as you established the world of the play and the relationship between Harry and Sarah. This also works very well in the Cable St/Sydney St section which increases in pace and volume until Dave interrupts. The banter with Monty works very well, offering an interesting contrast with the sympathy you show Dave. Mary McNulty, Kent University.
I played Wellborn in a production by the Canterbury Shakespeare Festival of Aphra Behns Younger Brother.
A fashionable gentleman involved in the lively social and romantic intrigues of the play.
He represents the Restoration ideal of a clever, pleasure-seeking man who values love and adventure.
often using charm and humour to influence others.
His actions help develop the themes of courtship, deception, and social ambition.
Through Wellborn, Aphra Behn explores the behaviour and morals of upper-class society.
