Edward has a particular love of Shakespeare, and is convinced of the power of words. He directs two theatre companies, GYP (the only youth theatre company in the UK which performs solely Shakespeare) and Dramestics (the only affordable chamber theatre company which performs in the found spaces of people’s homes). Edward has been a Head of Drama in primary and secondary schools, and is also a visiting university lecturer. He runs practical workshops such as ‘Journeying through Shakespeare’ and lectures on themes such as ‘Mental Health and Shakespeare’.
