I have long enjoyed acting, and have enjoyed a great variety of roles, including:

• Roland in Nick Payne's Constellations, 2019

• Malvolio in Twelfth Night, 2012

• John Worthing in The Importance of Being Earnest, 2019

• Brindsley Miller in Peter Schaffer's The Black Comedy, 2017

• Four roles in Goodnight Mr Tom at the People's Theatre in Newcastle in 2025

I enjoy playing serious plays as well as comedy, and relish the opportunity to stretch my skills to new and different roles. 2019's Constellations was a superb challenge and highly demanding, and very rewarding to put together a show that was tremendously well received, including the following excerpt from one review: "The relationship between [Peter Rhodes and Beth Rodgers] is totally believable as is its progression throughout the show. How often have you been to see a show were you don’t believe in the relationship between characters, the intimacy is forced or awkward, the emotional charge is missing? These two actors are comfortable in their own skins to tell it like it is and I was lost in admiration for them. When something is good you recognise it as being good and this is good."

In 2021 I made my first foray into musical theatre by playing Pharaoh and Gad in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. More detail about that performance can be found on this page: Joseph 2021.

I am most naturally a tenor.

In 2012 I directed an independent production of Sam Shepard's Cowboy Mouth at the Burton Taylor theatre in Oxford. This was a fantastic piece to get my teeth into, being a very strange and intimate world into which the show must invite an audience, and I enjoyed it a great deal. It was also significantly challenging for a director in terms of tech, for although I was lucky to work with a very capable producer, the show included live music, a great deal of set, a firearm, and more. Further, as an independent piece, this involved setting up a production company, seeking funding, booking the theatre, and much more, which was invaluable experience.

In 2015 I directed part of Confusions by Alan Ayckbourn.
