The Director
This is the second play Ken has directed for The Luvvies after last year's 'Fugue
In A Nursery'; the second part of the Torch Song Trilogy. In recent years, Ken has
also directed: 'Three Little Maids In Sherwood Forest' by Ken Nicholson with Creative
SpAce, 'The Dumb Waiter' by Harold Pinter with KDN Productions, 'Hamlet' by William
Shakespeare with KDN Productions and 'The Birthday Party' by Harold Pinter with
The Drum Players. He has also directed various short films including 'Light and
Dark', 'How Hard Could It Be' and 'On The Way'.
Painted Eggs is the first new play by another writer that he has directed and he
has found the experience "invigorating" and "enlightening". The balance between
helping the writer Nicole Dolder to finish the performance draft of the play and
directing the play involved careful negotiation. Ken has "really enjoyed" working
with the cast and hopes to work with them again on future projects.
Ken has also been acting for many years and performed in The Luvvies first production
"Taste of Heaven and Hell" along with other plays and films. Ken is currently involved
with many new projects including producing and directing a musical for an off-Fringe
performance in August called "F*** You!", he is in contact with theatres and producers
regarding "The Twelfth Club" a musical co-written with David Townhill (www.thetwelfthclub.com)
and is planning an album for their band "Tinderbox".
