Creator. Leader. Change Maker.
Peter is a writer, director, and theatre designer based in Portsmouth, UK. His work centres on creating theatre that is exciting, accessible, and sustainable.
As a writer Peter received good reviews for his ‘spellbinding and emotional’ short bringing the people of Portsmouth’s memories of 9/11 to life. He has also written three pantomimes - Robin Hood, Aladdin, and Dick Whittington - which have been described as 'fast paced and full of bad jokes, with lots of opportunities for audience participation'.
As a director, Peter has directed five pantomimes, starting with Puss in Boots and followed by Jack and the Beanstalk, Robin Hood, Aladdin, and Dick Whittington. He also compiled and directed the variety show 'Summertime Music Hall: A Journey Through the Ages' which charted 100 years of history through music and culture. For Summertime Music Hall, Peter also wrote four short scripts and arranged a compliation of hit music from the past century.
For each show he's directed Peter has also been involved in set and costume design, and now manages Confetti Cannon Wardrobe, a Hampshire-based costume and prop hire company which specialises in the recovery of costumes being disposed of by other companies.
In 2019, Peter received the NODA South East Award for Poster Design for 'Summertime Music Hall: A Journey Through the Ages' and has consistently received positive feedback for his theatre programme designs. He is an accomplished graphic designer designing for theatre, local government, and national charities.
Peter is artistic director of Thinking Makes It So and Confetti Cannon. He is a Mental Health First Aider and also a judge for the UK Pantomime Association’s Panto Awards.
