As a director, I work across new writing, devising and musical theatre.
I am particularly interested in socially-engaged work that entertains audiences while interrogating the world around us.

As a company, we cannot recommend Joe highly enough—he is an instinctive, imaginative, and generous director who thrives across multiple platforms.

Paul Hunter
Artistic Director, Told by an Idiot
Joe’s work for ArtsEd has been inventive, playful and detailed. He’s been great with the students – creatively challenging them to dig with more specificity and rigour, and getting strong work from them.

Dan Okello-Bird
Head of Acting, Arts Ed School of Musical Theatre
Joe did a wonderful job directing my play 'Babies'. He drew out strong performances from the cast and his production brought the text to life with clarity and imagination. I enjoyed working closely with him to support the production.

Jonathan Harvey
Writer (Beautiful Thing, Babies, Call The Midwife)
Joe was one of the best assistant directors I have ever worked with. It's clear that Joe has a natural instinct for working with actors and telling a good story.

Kate Budgen
Freelance Director
Every young person Joe works with is encouraged to be their most confident and authentic self. He has unlocked potential in so many students and empowered them to be curious and ambitious.

Amy Lancelot
Schools Programme Senior Manager, RSC
Joe's ability to create ambitious, exciting art with groups from a range of backgrounds with a range of needs is testament to what a strong facilitator he is. He manages behaviour well and his passion and enthusiasm is infectious. I would recommend Joe for any project working with 5-95 year olds!
