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).
It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
