Hello, and thank you for stopping by.

My name is Wayne, and I am a professional actor, speaker, theatrical historian, and social history researcher.

For more than thirty years, I have worked in the entertainment industry, primarily as a stage actor, while also appearing in television, film, and commercial productions. Alongside performing, I have written, directed, and produced shows for both myself and a variety of theatre companies.

My love of theatre began at the age of five when my grandfather took me to see Cinderella. More than five decades later, that fascination remains as strong as ever, particularly when it comes to the rich traditions and history of pantomime.

Over the years, my interest in theatre naturally expanded into a wider passion for history. What began with researching performers, productions, and theatrical traditions soon led to exploring the social history that surrounds them. Today, my talks bring these interests together, combining historical research with the storytelling skills developed throughout my theatrical career.

Whether exploring the colourful world of pantomime, uncovering the lives of forgotten performers, or sharing the remarkable stories that shape our social history, my aim is always to entertain, inform, and bring the past vividly to life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I hope we have the opportunity to meet at one of my talks or events in the future.

Wayne
