Louis is a freelance theatre maker, based in the West Midlands. His creative practice seeks to combine queer storytelling with bold and inventive contemporary theatre processes.
His experience is varied, ranging from performances in published texts and improvised musical theatre, to producing and directing original writing and devised productions. He is a first class graduate from the University of Warwick, where he collaborated on and directed multiple exciting projects, including I Feel Love, which looked at acid house rave culture in Thatcherite Britain, and The Garland Complex, which explored the decriminalisation of homosexuality in England in the late sixties.
In September, he assistant directed Cancer B*tch by Hannah Ali Khan in Oxford. Cancer B*tch was a community driven, arts council funded piece of new writing that offered a unique perspective on a necessary story. In October, he performed as part of the European debut of Andrew Lippa’s I Am Harvey Milk at Cadogan Hall.
Recently, he founded his own theatre company, Milk No Sugar. MNS dedicates time, money, and resources to original writing on queer themes in the West Midlands.
