Reviews

"The stylistic variation gives the impression it's been devised and/or workshopped by the cast to some degree.  While I can't personally claim to have been properly ‘got' at any point, the actors on the whole offer strong performances under the smart direction of Jesse Hilford, ranging from brooding stillness to abject terror, with generous portions of excessive, unhinged laughter."

Theatreview

"The following stories are fill of shock and terror... stories seem to bounce between humour and horror. Some are more fictional with demons and monsters, others are quite deep with personality changes and mirrors."

Whats Good

"Together with Sean Kelly’s chilling soundscape and complemented by Nova Jackson’s lighting design, A Ghost Tale is a highly atmospheric, subtly thought-provoking and eerily engaging experience. It might not spook you out of your seat but the underlying message may just scare you even more."

    One fateful morning, after working for a little while in production departments on various film and television projects, I decided to go for a run around the local park. It was a good run, I was setting a new personal best time up until I tripped and fell and snapped my arm. While in hospital I decided to leave working in Film and focus entirely creating theatre projects. 

    I have gone on to direct, produce and Stage Manage different performances across Auckland.

    I am always on the look out for my next project.
