I joined in August 2007.

I have several degrees in theatre / drama / film from universities in the UK and USA and will be contributing in these areas. I'm a lecturer in drama in London.

At the moment I'm concentrating on developing the Constantin Stanislavski pages, the Hamlet page and a few other Shakespeare-related. I'm also trying to turn the Bertolt Brecht article into something even vaguely respectable - so far, I've written an introduction, the chronology of plays, the first biog bit, and done the bibliography, but there's a long way to go with it.

"Anyone can be creative, it's rewriting other people that's a challenge." Bertolt Brecht

Longer term, I'm thinking something on dramatic criticism / theatre criticism (in the sense of Poetics rather than reviews) and theatre semiotics. I expect I'll be dabbling in things like mimesis, representation and other general theatre-related critical concepts. So much to look at on here--some of the theatre pages are not up to scratch.

Any comments are most welcome.

[edit] Pages on Concepts and People

Here's a list of pages I've written, re-written or to which I've made substantial contributions:
