Welcome!

After the lockdown started in 2020 all my projects were either cancelled or postponed and as I had just arrived in Switzerland, I decided to stay here and find work in other areas. When the first measures against Corona were eased, I had to make the decision to either return to Dublin or stay in Switzerland. As it looked like Theatres would take a while to get back on their feet, I decided to stay in Switzerland and apply to different jobs here. As luck would have it I found a permanent position in the TAK theatre in Liechtenstein where I have now been working since January 2021. Since then my theatre has been gracious enough to let me work on a few external projects. Here is an overview of my up-coming and most recent past productions.
