With a love of theatre and the performing arts for over 20 years, it is a real privilege to teach at PQA, which for me, is somewhat a dream. Since teaching for PQA, I have been able to direct and produce productions including: 'Bugsy Malone'; 'Scrooge' and write a number of productions such as 'Around the World in 5 days' and 'Murder at PQA Manor' (a murder mystery based on Cluedo characters).
