Theatre man

Happy 40th birthday to my beautiful Claire Ellenbogen
As the sun sets on your 30’s, somehow you just keep getting more beautiful — stronger where it matters, and still the person who lights up every room she walks into.
You are the heart of our family, the calm in the chaos, the loveliest laugh at the table, and the love that holds us all together. Watching you as a mother to Oliver and Sophie is one of the greatest privileges of my life.
And I know Granny Franny would be smiling the biggest smile watching you bask in her light today. ✨
Here’s to the naughty 40’s:
more adventures,
more laughter,
more late nights,
more memories,
and absolutely no slowing down.
We love you endlessly.

What a fulfilling and inspiring afternoon spent engaging with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students at LAMTA.
We explored the craft of telling arresting stories through technical mediums like light—an area that continues to excite and challenge me. The level of curiosity, engagement, and discipline from these students was truly impressive.
They are bright, thoughtful, and full of both vigour and rigour. The future of theatre feels dynamic and in very good hands.
Already looking forward to next week’s sessions.

Thrilled to announce a new project which begins in a month from now at The Baxter Theatre.
AN ILIAD is a visceral retelling of Homer’s epic for our time. War has never been ancient history.
An Iliad brings Homer’s legendary tale crashing into the present — asking a simple, unsettling question: why do we keep telling this story — and why do we keep living it?
This is not a polite, distant epic.
It is immediate. Human. Darkly funny. Brutal. Tender.
You don’t need to know Homer.
You don’t need to love epics.
You only need to be human.
A reminder that the oldest stories still know us better than we think.
