I am just finishing a BA in Creative Producing, previous to starting this degree I mainly worked in Box office and Venue management. I have tried to gain as much producing experience as I can while studying my degree and working part time. I have also attended the Stage One producing workshop. All my management experience has given me a great overall knowledge of running a show from selling tickets to looking after the safety and facilitating the enjoyment of an audience on the night.

- Reginald was based on the historical figure General Reginald Dyer, who gave the order for his men to commit the Amritsar Massacre in 1919. The piece was written from his view point. We took the concept the Shobu and commissioned her to write the piece, we also tracked down Reginald Dyer's great Grand daughter and interviewed her.
