Who are you and what do you do?
I’m Sam, and I’m the Sound Designer for our upcoming play The Truth.
I’ve been working for years with live bands and in corporate events, and having moved recently into working in theatre sound I am looking at getting as much experience as I can doing my own sound design for the play.
When I got the confirmation that my pitch to direct The Truth for Peculiar Productions had been successful, my first thought was “I cannot wait!”. My second thought? “Oh Gods, what have I done!”
Thankfully, that second thought–although it crops up from time to time–has largely been quashed.
My experience so far with Peculiar Productions has run the gauntlet from exhilarating to exciting and every possible emotion in between. I’ve been involved in theatre for around 15 years now but this is the first big show I’ve solo-directed since school, and staging a Pratchett directly following on from Amy Davies’ Monstrous Productions left my team and I with some pretty big shoes to fill!
