Background

Summary

Hello, I'm Oli. I'm the artistic director of Rogues' Gallery Theatre company. I'm also the associate director of Shakespeare In Love, and at the beginning of 2015 rehearsed a new cast for the production. Elsewhere for 2015 I'll be directing a Shakespeare at Mountview Drama School.Also in development is Tristan Bernays' Old Fools, which received it's first development reading as part of the IdeasTap Festival at Rich Mix.

Last year Rogues' Gallery toured John Luke Roberts one man show "The Incredible One Man Pandemic," which started at Vault Festival and went to Latitude. We've also done site-responsive versions of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, devised Music Hall shows in Hoxton Hall and an interactive folk musical at the VAULT Festival, Speigeltent Southbank and Latitude. Before that I was the Associate Director to Ed Hall on Chariots of Fire at Hampstead Theatre and then the Gielgud. I also assisted Ed on Loyalty, Mike Leigh on Ecstasy, Richard Eyre on Last of the Duchess and Melly Still on Beasts and Beauties, all of which were at Hampstead Theatre.

Rogues’ Gallery makes an eclectic mixture of theatre, usually site-responsive and always with a unique audience experience firmly in mind. We work with the broadest range of artists possible, believing that it’s often those who belong to artistic disciplines outside of theatre itself can have the most unusual impact on a piece of work.

I'm represented by Julia Mills at Berlin Associates.
