'I have been a student of drama, a teacher of English and a director of plays and Shakespeare’s words never fail to inspire me. When working with a play I like to use my imagination to shift the plays’ time and context to bring different themes and ideas out of the work. As a Period Interpreter at New Place I find so much inspiration from talking to the visitors about their relationship with Shakespeare and his works. It is wonderful to find that like myself, many visitors feel the same way.'
