I’ve been in love with theatre for as long as I can remember but it was intensified when I joined Bedlam Theatre whilst at University of Edinburgh - the oldest student-run theatre in the UK. With an aversion to the spotlight I became involved in stage management and producing and then discovered reviewing. I’ve been reviewing for over six years now but am still delighted to be challenged and thrilled by shows at every viewing. When not working as a marketeer in my day job, I’m at home with my two demanding Siamese cats - more often than not knitting or with a glass of wine in hand.
