Highlights
-
Cas Hodges (Producer)
I worked with Chris on More Light by the late Snoo Wilson. He is highly talented and has a unique quality to his directing. He is great to work with. -
ACS Random
Chris directed The Shakespeare Conspiracy, which in the end had a cast of 20. The play required a director who understood the play implicitly and had a clear idea of the direction the show was to go in, while at the same time being open to suggestions and most importantly a strong collaboration with the cast and creative team. I was absolutely delighted with Chris's work and dedication to the production. I gave him a challenging undertaking, given the scale of the project and lack of budget and he delivered a cracking show - which resulted in a complete sell out and interest in taking the show further. I also got a sound designer out of it as well!
Chris is an exciting young director, with a lot of natural talent and a great deal of potential. -
Jakub Drewa (Director)
Chris is a great pleasure to work with. He is a very bright and knowledgeable director, and a very strong, but compassionate leader. He knows how to keep the company together and how to make people work together well. The main reasons I want to work with him again is the way he is involved in the world of the play, nearly in the same way as the actors are, totally immersed into the environment of the stage while still sitting in front of it and making and giving notes.
