- 2018 / Pinter at the Pinter
- Role:
- Various
- Company:
- The Jamie Lloyd Company
- Director:
- Jamie Lloyd and Lia Williams
- Synopsis
The incendiary One for The Road is Pinter at his most terrifying. A ruthless government official interrogates a dissident and his family, but is the torturer more tortured than his victims?
The New World Order explores how the abuse of power is legitimised in the name of freedom and democracy, as two brutal interrogators prepare to inflict their terrible punishment on a blind-folded insurgent. Pinter investigates the suppression of ideas and the supposed threat of non-conformity in Mountain Language: a group of captives attempt to find a voice when their shared language is banned by the state. Ashes to Ashes is a richly atmospheric and compelling play in which the dark nightmare of human atrocity infiltrates a couple’s living room, and will be directed by award-winning actress and long-time Pinter collaborator, Lia Williams.
The evening culminates with the World Premiere production of Pinter’s newly-discovered satirical sketch, The Pres and an Officer, an anarchic attack on the Presidency. The role of the President will be played by a variety of surprise guest stars across the run.

- Title
- 2015-16 / Cymbeline
- Role:
- Posthumus
- Company:
- Shakespeare’s Globe
- Director:
- Sam Yates
- Synopsis
Innogen, daughter of King Cymbeline, has displeased her father by marrying Posthumus. In exile, Posthumus proclaims the beauty of his wife to the villainous Iachimo and lays a wager on her fidelity. But Iachimo will stop at nothing to prove that Imogen has been unfaithful – and Posthumus seems implacable in his revenge.
Strange, erotic, moving and politically charged, Cymbeline is perhaps the most psychologically acute of Shakespeare’s great late romantic quartet.
- Title
- 2015 / The Crucible
- Role:
- John Proctor
- Company:
- Royal Exchange
- Director:
- Caroline Steinbeis
- Synopsis
"The Devil is alive in Salem, and we dare not quail to follow wherever the accusing finger points."
Betty Parris lies in a trance after a childish game spins out of control, and accusations of witchcraft are quickly manipulated by those with something to gain. However, when false allegations reach fever pitch, the devout community of Salem descends into a cauldron of hysteria it can never return from.
Written in the 1950s when the insidious fear of communism gripped America, The Crucible is a devastating portrayal of the human cost of tyranny and vengeance. Director Caroline Steinbeis returns to the Royal Exchange following her sell out run in the Studio with Alistair McDowall's Bruntwood Prize-winning, Brilliant Adventures (2013).
"The Crucible was the first play I ever performed in a school, aged 12. Revisiting Miller over 20 years later, it is with shock and awe that I am shown again how close we all stand to the abyss; how quickly a group of people are blasted apart by revenge, greed and teenage reverie, and all for that moment when we give in to our innermost desires. What a huge challenge and what a pleasure to be making this production for the Royal Exchange." Caroline Steinbeis
