In 2023 I co-founded The Base with Oliver Bennett, a friend and fellow graduate from RADA.
We want to rediscover, explore and reinvigorate great texts in the Western canon to challenge the conformity of the contemporary dramatic arts.
In a series of readings we have brought to life profound texts and partnered performances with cutting edge responses from new interesting thinkers.
Moving forward, we want to inspire new writers, fostering a movement of fearless creatives and exciting intellectuals. We want to create dynamic work for screen and stage. Our new writing competition, The Agon, is in its second year and we have ambitious plans for the future.
We believe drama needs to go deeper and challenge audiences in order to do justice to our fascinating and troubling modern world.
The Base will celebrate excellence, depth and vitality.
Please follow our work wherever you can. Below I’ve attached links to some of our work from rehearsals and some of our interviews with fascinating thinkers.
