"My vision is for theatre to embody the highest expression of the human condition across comedy, drama, and the musical. I focus on developing innovative productions designed for both artistic impact and practical viability in varying economic landscapes. Central to my practice is a commitment to artistic renewal to ensure continued relevance, which informs my direction of a diverse repertoire from the classical canon to contemporary works."

"James is an amazing composer, writer and director. His biggest problem is he's too quiet about his talents. But that's what makes him special, I think. His work in theatre will be felt long after he's gone.
