Biography
Richard is training on the MA Drama Directing course at BOVTS. In 2016 he received his BA (Hons) in Acting from the Guildford School of Acting (GSA). In 2017 he completed the Mercury Theatre (Colchester)’s Early Career Development Programme and has worked as a freelance director, actor, stand-up, and practitioner since then.
Previous directing credits include: Assistant Director on This House (Tobacco Factory), Moonfleece (C Venues, Edinburgh), How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found, Blue Stockings, Macbeth (All Headgate Theatre, Colchester), A View From The Bridge (St Martin’s Church, Colchester), Ben Hur (Castle Park, Colchester).
As soon as I visited the School, I fell in love with the place. Perhaps it sounds a bit irrational, but sometimes you get a vibe - and you just know! BOVTS gave me all the tools I needed to prepare for a career as an actor.
