He was Assistant Director at the Royal Shakespeare Company where he spent five years, Staff Director at the Royal National Theatre, and Resident Director at the English Shakespeare Company on a world tour.

He is particularly proud to have directed A Woman Is a Weathercock by Nathan Field, one of Shakespeare’s actors. This was the first time the play had been produced since Elizabethan times. Between 1992 and 1994 he was Associate Director of the Mercury Theatre in Colchester.

Over the past few years he has mainly been directing outside the UK in Germany, Ireland, Pakistan, Poland, and five productions in Barcelona. Other work includes a year at Granada Television, two plays at London’s Globe Theatre, and a number of productions at RADA.

Immediately after Deadly Nightcap opens Graham will be directing in Dublin followed by his third short film To the Manor Drawn.
