Adam (he/him) began at Camden People’s Theatre in 2018 as a Front of House Team Member, and has recently stepped up to become the Front of House Manager. He began his career volunteering at VAULT Festival, and has since moved on to do Front of House work for festivals and theatres. He is a working class director, dramaturg and fringe theatre practitioner, and can’t really believe he gets to watch it every day as his job. His practice attempts to remove the traditional rules of theatre, and allow audiences the freedom to misbehave. He dreams of a day when no one feels like theatre "isn't meant for people like me".
