What an honour it is to have been a part of such an incredible and provoking show, particularly during these trying times. Ionesco reminds us of the relevancy art brings throughout history and highlights the importance of having these discussions. 

To my director and fellow cast mates who created a space for all involved that embodied strength, bravery, and creativity, thank you. Together we created a beautiful show with each of our voices to share the complexities of this crazy world.

Fire and Frost; Prometheus, Pandora and The Birth of Humankind 🔥🏛️

About a year ago now, I got to play Hephaestus from Greek myth - the God of Blacksmiths and Fire. This role was one of the most inspiring for me in these past few years. He has so much empathy, compassion, and curiosity towards all people and creatures, but at the same time is easily pressured into hurting them. His strength to eventually turn back and stand up against this pressure is what made his arc so beautiful to me.. What made this God so human. Representing that it's never too late to stand up for what's right.
