I'm enthralled, entertained and challenged in equal measure by theatre. I have studied Renaissance theatre, so Shakespeare continues to present the world on a stage.

Nearer to the present, Beckett, Osborne, Pinter and currently Caryl Churchill continue to inspire me. My critical approach to theatre reviewing has been honed not only through academic study, but also by the experience of years of theatre-going – which I am very happy to continue doing for Theatre Reviews North in Liverpool, Chester and North

Wales.
